Answer:
a=(2/5), b = (-2,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
well slope formula is rise/run. So for the first one you start at the point rise 2 run 5 and you reach the endpoint. That is how you know you got the correct slope. (2/5)
For the second one you start at the first point and you cannot go up because it is a negative slope you run 6 till you hit the other point go down 2. Since you go down 2 that would make it -2. (-2,6)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So when x and y, vary inversely, it means that the product of x and y will remain constant such that: 
. This means that the function can be defined as 
by dividing both sides by x. In this case x=12, and y=8, this means the constant is equal to 12 * 8 which is 96. So we have the equation: 
, which can be defined as
Answer:
10 is the rate of change
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B) 42:28
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's get 12:18 simplified to make it easier to compare:
12:18 -> 4:6 - > <u>2:3</u>
Now let's check it against all the options:
A) 20:30 -> 2:3 and 2:3 = 2:3
Not our answer as it is congruent (equal too, the same as, etc)
B) We can see that the first number is larger than the second number, so without doing too much math we can see this is our answer!
42:28
(it simplifes to 6:4 -> 3:2)
(we do not have to do the following as we already have an answer, but here is the math)
C) 4:6
4:6 ->
2:3 = 2:3
D) 2:3
2:3 = 2:3
