To simplify a ratio, first make into the fraction form. a:b = \frac{a}{b}

Then find the prime factors of both the numerator and denominator.

\frac{15}{37} = \frac{(3)(5)}{(1)(37)}

Now cancel out any common factors. But if there isn't any common factors, then the fraction or ratio is in its simplest formula.

And that is the case here.

And because the question wants the answer in ratio form, make the fraction back into a ratio.

So, A. 15:37 is the answer.

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (8, −2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 3x + 4y = 15?
Dafna1 [17]

Step 1

<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>

we have

3x+4y=15

Isolate the variable y

Subtract 3x both sides

3x+4y-3x=15-3x

4y=-3x+15

Divide by 4 both sides

y=-\frac{3}{4}x+ \frac{15}{4}

the slope of the given line is

m=-\frac{3}{4}

Step 2

Find the equation of the line that passes through  the point (8,-2) and is parallel to the given line

we know that

if two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal

The equation of the line into point-slope form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=-\frac{3}{4}

(x1,y1)=(8,-2)

substitute in the equation

y+2=-\frac{3}{4}(x-8)

y=-\frac{3}{4}x+6-2

y=-\frac{3}{4}x+4  or  3x+4y=16

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

y=-\frac{3}{4}x+4

or

3x+4y=16

Write the equation Of a function who parent function, f(x)=x+8 is shifted 2 units to the right
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

g(x)=x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=x+8

If f(x) is shifted 2 units to the right

then  

The rule of the translation is

g(x)=f(x-2)

so

g(x)=(x-2)+8

g(x)=x+6
