A linear function is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and (the first power of) a single variable. For example, a common equation,
y
=
m
x
+
b
, (namely the slope-intercept form, which we will learn more about later) is a linear function because it meets both criteria with
x
and
y
as variables and
m
and
b
as constants. It is linear: the exponent of the
x
term is a one (first power), and it follows the definition of a function: for each input (
x
) there is exactly one output (
y
). Also, its graph is a straight line.
To find the common ratio, u take ur 2nd term, and divide it by ur 1st term
(-1/6) / (5/12) =
-1/6 * 12/5 =
- 2/5 <== ur common ratio

Answer:
35/4, or 8 3/4 as a mixed number
Step-by-step explanation:
First, change 58 1/3 into an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number and denominator, then adding the numerator. 58 x 3 equals 174, + 1 equals 175. So, 58 1/3 as an improper fraction is 175/3. Next, change 6 2/3 into an improper fraction. 6 times 3 equals 18, plus 2 equals 20. So, it's 20/3. So, here are your two fractions:
175/3 & 20/3
To divide fractions, I like to use a method called Keep Change Flip. Basically, you keep the first fractions the same, then change the sign. The division sign changes into a multiplication symbol. Now, your equation should look like this: 175/3 x 20/3. Next, flip the fraction from 20/3 into 3/20. This is what your equation should look like now: 175/3 x 3/20. Now you can multiply the fractions together. Before you do so, you can cross reduce to make it easier. What is a number that both 3 and 3 can be divided by? The correct answer is 3. 3/3= 1, so the equation is now 175/1 x 1/20. However, you can continue to cross reduce. You can also divide 175 and 20 by 5, so the equation changes into this: 35/1 x 1/20. Multiply numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator. So, the answer is 35/4, or 8 3/4 as a mixed number. Hope this helped!
