explain why multiplying the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number results in an equivalent fraction

1 answer:

8 0

Think: You're treating the numerator and the denom. in precisely the same way. In doing so you are NOT changing the value of the fraction, only the appearance.

Example: start with 2/3. Mult num. and den. both by 7: 14/21.

2/3 and 14/21 result in precisely the same decimal fraction, showing that the latter set of fractions is equivalent to the former set.

How do you solve this?

DiKsa [7]

Triangles ABC and LBM are similar. We know this because AL and LB have the same length, so that AB is twice as long as either AL or LB. The same goes for MC and BM, and BC. The angle B is the same for both tirangles ABC and LBM, so the side-angle-side postulate tells us the triangles are similar, and in particular that triangle ABC is twice as large as LBM.

All this to say that LM must be half as long as AC, so LM has length (B) 14 cm.

Answer:

16) $y=\frac{1}{4}x +5$

17) y = -x - 4

18) y = -2x - 1

19) y = -2x

20) $y=\frac{-5}{3} -3$

Step-by-step explanation:

With the two points you find the slope using $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Then using that slope, plug the slope in with one of the points values of x and y into the point slope formula, and smiplify that into the y-intercept formula.
