When you see the subtraction<span> (</span>minus<span>) sign followed by a </span>negative<span> sign, turn the two signs into a plus sign. Thus, instead of </span>subtracting<span> a </span>negative<span>, you're adding a </span>positive<span>, so you have a simple addition problem.</span>

What is 3/4 + 1/6 divided by 2/5 evaluated and simplified into a fraction?
BabaBlast [244]
3/4 + 1/6= the common denominator is 12
3x2/4x3 + 1x2/6x2= you must multiply the bottom values of the fraction to get 12 and whatever you multiply on the bottom you must do on the top as well
6/12 + 2/12= now you can add it
8/12
8/12 ÷ 2/5= you must multiply by the reciprocal
8x5/12x2=
40/36= this is the answer
10/9 (this is the simplified answer)

Cual es la ecuación de la recta que pasa por el punto (2;-1/2) y tiene de pendiente m=-2/3
timama [110]

Answer:

y = (-2/3)x + 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept. You have been given the value of "m". To find the value of "b", you can plug the slope and the values from the point (2, -1/2) into the general equation.

m = -2/3

Point (2, -1/2):

x = 2 and y = -1/2

y = mx + b                                  <----- Slope-intercept form

y = (-2/3)x + b                            <----- Insert -2/3 in "m"

-1/2 = (-2/3)(2) + b                      <----- Insert "x" and "y" values from point

-1/2 = -4/3 + b                            <----- Multiply -2/3 and 2

-3/6 = -8/6 + b                           <----- Give the fractions common denominators

5/6 = b                                      <----- Add 8/6 to both sides

Thus, the equation of the line is:

y = (-2/3)x + 5/6
