Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: Yes, (8 1/2) /`17 = ( 17 11/12) /23
** I think you meant 11 1/2 is to 23 NOT 17 11 1/2 is to 23"
Discussion:
First, 8 1/2 = 17/2 and
(17/2
) / 17 = 1/2
Second 11 1/2 = 23/2 and
(23/2)/ 23 = 1/2
IN other words, the ratiors are the same:
8 1/2 11 1/2
------- = -------
17 23
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
slope: 3
y-intercept: (0, -1)
Find slope:

Here given points are: (0, -1), (3, 8)

When finding y-intercept, the value of x is 0. Here given y is -1 when x is 0.
y-intercept: -1 or (0, -1)
