Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the whole number 14 to a fraction with 1 in the denominator.

We then have:

4/7 : 14 = 4/7 : 14/1

Convert fractions to integers by eliminating the denominators.

We now have:

4/7 : 14 = 4/7 : 98/7

Our two fractions now have like denominators so we can multiply both by 7 to eliminate the denominators.

We then have:

4/7 : 14 = 4 : 98

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 4 and 98 is 2

Divide both terms by the GCF, 2:

4 ÷ 2 = 2

98 ÷ 2 = 49

The ratio 4 : 98 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 2 :

4 : 98 = 2 : 49

Therefore:

4/7 : 14 = 2 : 49

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write the equation of this line, we need to pick 2 points on the graph where the line goes right through the intersection of the grids. Actually, you only need 1 of these, because the line goes through at (0, 15). Another point then can be (6, 6). Locate this point so you know what I means when I say that the line goes right through where the grids intersect at x = 6 and y = 6 (as opposed to somewhere in the middle of one of these grids). Find the slope between these 2 points:

$m=\frac{6-15}{6-0}=-\frac{9}{6}=-\frac{3}{2}$
