Slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)

(there is probably another way to do this, but I will be doing it this way)


Isolate the "y" in the equation

3x + 4y = 12       Subtract 3x on both sides

4y = 12 - 3x        Divide 4 on both sides

y=3-\frac{3}{4}x  or   y=-\frac{3}{4} x+3   The slope is -3/4


For lines to be parallel, they have to have the SAME slope. The given line's slope is -3/4, so the slope of the parallel line is also -\frac{3}{4}

The fraction for the above ratio is 5/9

Where 5- no of cups of bread crumbs needed; 9= pounds of ground beef needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Anything that can be represented in the x/y form constitutes the fraction.

The above statement can be represented in the fraction form as 5/9. It means that for every 9 pounds of ground beef, 5 cups of bread crumbs are needed.

The above fraction provides the ratio in the form of cups of bread crumb/ pound of ground beef required. Where 5 represents the number of cups of bread crumbs required, 9 represents the pound of ground beef needed for the same.

Sladkaya [172]
So first we want to say, 8 out of the 40 flowers were perennials.

8 out of 40 is 8/40, or simplified down to 1/5.

1/5 in percentage form is 20% because 1 divided by 5 = 20%.
