Sadly is right. You must have practiced this stuff in middle school
until it was coming out of your ears. Fortunately, you have a chance
to relearn it now. You should do that ... it'll be important in any math
course you ever take.
'm' is the slope of the line on the graph.
The slope is
(the change in 'y' between any two points on the line)
divided by
(the change in 'x' between the same two points).
You can choose any two points on the line, and the slope is always the same.
To make it easy, look at the two points on this graph where the line crosses
the x-axis and the y-axis.
Going between these two points ...
-- the line goes up, from y=0 to y=4. The change in 'y' is 4 .
-- the line goes to the right, from x=-2 to x=0. The change in 'x' is 2 .
'm' = the slope = (4)/(2) = 2 .
The "y-intercept" is the place where the line crosses the y-axis.
On this graph, that's the point where y=4 .
The equation of EVERY straight line on ANY graph is:
Y = (the slope) times 'x' + (the y-intercept) .
So the equation of THIS line on THIS graph is
Y = 2x + 4 .
The Solution are : a=3.
b=1.
Questions 1, 2, 3, and 4 are exercises to give you practice with
common denominators. For each of these questions, change all
the fractions to common denominators, and the answers jump out at you.
#1). 5/12 = 25/60
2/5 = 24/60
Make um negative, and then you'll have the answer right away.
#2). The one that's negative is obviously the least.
Both positive ones must be bigger than the negative one.
For the positive ones:
2/5 = 6/15
2/3 = 10/15 .
Now it's easy.
#3). This is tough. The least common denominator is 2,520 !
It's probably easier to just do the divisions and get the decimals
for each fraction.
-5/8 = -0.625
-7/9 = -0.777...
-4/5 = -0.8
-3/7 = -0.428...
Now it's easy to line um up.
#4). Sneaky one.
Look closely at each fraction.
B, C, and D are all less than 1, so they're not between 1 and anything more than 1.
8/5 is the only one that's more than 1.
#5). A fraction is just a short way to write a division problem.
When you see a fraction, it means
"the top number divided by the bottom number" .
When you actually do the division, the quotient you get
is the decimal form of the fraction.
To change a decimal into a percent,
move the decimal point two places that way ==> .
The numbers in the boxes at the bottom of #5 are the correct numbers,
but they both should be negative. (because the -3/8 is negative)
Answer:
to solve this you need to find out what number n is to make it equal 28.
Step-by-step explanation:
19+3 =22 so 3 is not it
19+9=28
answer is 9
hopefully this is right and this gets to you on time
