Hi there!
To add fractions there are three simple steps:
1. Make sure the bottom numbers (denominators) are the same. → In your case you're all good, both your denominators are 8.
2. Add the top numbers (numerators) and put that answer over the denominator :
-3 + 7 = 4 →
3. Simplify the fraction (if needed). → In your case, you do need to simplify your fraction :
Divide both your numerator and denominator by 4 to get your simplified fraction :
4 ÷ 4 = 1
8 ÷ 4 = 2
Your simplified fraction is :
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
the equation of a line in point-slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
to calculate m use the gradient formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, - 1) and (x₂, y₂) = (1 1/2, 2 )
m = =
=
using (a, b) = (- 4, - 1), then
y + 1 = (x + 4)
