The slope can be calculated by subtracting the y values (the rises) and dividing the difference by the difference between the x values (the runs) to get rise over run. -1-4= -5 (differences in y's) & 5-(-2)= 7 (the differences in the x's). now divide the difference in the y' by the difference in the x's to get m= -5/7.

Pls help tap picture to see the three problems

1. Slope intercept form. First find two points to get slope: (0,-3) and (-3,-4). Slope is
(-4 - -3)/(-3 - 0)= 1/3
Use one of the points of (x,y) to solve for b
Y=1/3x + b
-3 = 1/3(0) + b
-3 = b so your slope intercept equation is
Y = 1/3x - 3

2. Rate of Change is slope. Your points are (0,10) and (24,6) so slope is (6-10)/(24-0)
= - 1/6 which means that for each 1 unit increase in x, y decreases by 1/6.

3. Standard form is ax + by =c
Notice it is the same line as in the first graph so it's the same equation
y = 1/3x - 3
First, you cannot have fractions, so you have to multiply the equation by 3 to get rid of the 1/3.
3y= x - 9. Now move the x over:
-x + 3y = - 9. Now get rid of the negative value on x by multiplying the entire equation by -1:
x - 3y = 9

What is 12 2/3 as an improper fraction
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

\dfrac{38}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

12\dfrac{2}{3} =

= 12 + \dfrac{2}{3}

= \dfrac{12}{1} + \dfrac{2}{3}

= \dfrac{12}{1} \times \dfrac{3}{3} + \dfrac{2}{3}

= \dfrac{36}{3} + \dfrac{2}{3}

= \dfrac{38}{3}
