-9/2 = -1/4(-2)+ b

-9/2 = 1/2 + b
Minus 1/2 over

B= -5

Hope this helps!

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-\frac{9}{2}})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies -\cfrac{1}{4} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\left( -\cfrac{9}{2} \right)=-\cfrac{1}{4}[x-(-2)] \\\\\\ y+\cfrac{9}{2}=-\cfrac{1}{4}(x+2)\implies y+\cfrac{9}{2}=-\cfrac{1}{4}x-\cfrac{1}{2}\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{4}x-\cfrac{1}{2}-\cfrac{9}{2}

\bf y=-\cfrac{1}{4}x-\cfrac{10}{2}\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{4}x\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{\boxed{-5}}\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving?
scoray [572]

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can multiply by 12 because to get rid of the fractions all terms should be divided by the LCM (ie the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by 2, 4 and 3)

Multiples of 3 = 3, 6, 9, 12

Multiples of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16

Multiples of 2 = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12

Therefore the fractions should be multiplied by 12

Is 6.3 &gt; 6.04 reasonable yes or no Explain
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

By rounding to the 10ths place, we can easily see that 6.3 is greater than 6.04. 6.3 is already rounded to the 10ths place, but 6.04 rounded to the 10ths place is 6.0.

6.3 is clearly more than 6.0, therefore 6.3 is greater than 6.04.
