Steps in multiplying fractions. Remember: finding common denominator is not necessary in multiplying fractions.
Common denominators are only needed in adding and subtracting fractions.
14/15 * 5/2
Step 1. Multiply the numerators.
14 * 5 = 70
Step 2. Multiply the denominators
15 * 2 = 30
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
70/30 = 2 10/30 = 2 1/3
*the fraction 10/30 can still be simplified by dividing both numbers by 10. Hence, 1/3.

24/60 ÷ 8/15
Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Reciprocal means the reverse of the fraction. Simply swap the places of the numbers.
Reciprocal of 8/15 is 15/8.
Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Follow steps in multiplying fractions.
24/60 * 15/8 = (24*15) / (60*8) = 360/480
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
360/480 = 9 / 12 = 3/4
360 ÷ 40 = 9 ; 9 ÷ 3 = 3
480 ÷ 40 = 12 ; 12 ÷ 3 = 4

Answer:
y = -7x
Step-by-step explanation:
The line goes through the origin, so the y-intercept is b=0.
The line goes through the point (1, -7), so has a "rise" of -7 for a "run" of 1. The slope is ...
m = rise/run = -7/1 = -7
Then the slope-intercept form equation is ...
y = mx + b
y = -7x
Answer:
y = -2x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the slope-intercept form of this equation. Slope-intercept form is denoted by: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
We already know that the slope is -2, so that means m = -2.
We also know the y-intercept (or the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is (0, -8), which means b = -8.
Thus, our equation is: y = -2x - 8.
