How is a greater number a factor of a smaller number?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Eduardwww [97]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

It depends on the definition of "factor" that you use.

One dictionary defines "factor" to be ...

  "a number or quantity that when multiplied with another produces a given number or expression"

In that sense, 7 can be a factor of 3, because 7 × (3/7) = 3.

___

Often we use the term "factor" when we mean "integer divisor", or "positive integer divisor". Using this last definition, the only factors of 3 are 1 and 3.

Other times, we use the term "factor" to mean "prime factor." By this definition, the only factor of 3 is 3 itself.

what is the equation, in slope- intercept form, of the line that contains the points (-3,4) and (5,7)
gavmur [86]

Answer:

y = \frac{3}{8} x + \frac{41}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

To calculate the slope use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 7)

m = \frac{7-4}{5+3} = \frac{3}{8}, hence

y = \frac{3}{8} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (5, 7 ), then

7 = \frac{15}{8} + c ⇒ c = 7 - \frac{15}{8} = \frac{41}{8}

y = \frac{3}{8} x + \frac{41}{8} ← equation in slope-intercept form
