I used to hate fractions. But in time, you learn to love them. This is because there's a big difference between fractions and decimals, even though when you divide the actual fraction it comes out to a decimal. Decimals go on and on sometimes, and it would be impossible to write out all those numbers, especially when taking a timed test, for example. Fractions, in this case, would be much more useful (as long as you know how to use them to your advantage). Fractions are basically all those decimal numbers wrapped up into a single, simple division. It makes the outcome of your answer much more accurate than if you estimate every decimal you get throughout a math problem. The more you estimate throughout the problem-solving process, the less accurate your final answer will be. Hence why teachers will usually tell you to estimate when you're putting down the final answer. Fractions are complex at times, so it may be easier to use them in decimal form for certain situations (especially if the decimal form is short and sweet). A world without fractions will result in many, many inaccurate situations involving mathematical knowledge.

Which is an equation of the line with slope –3 and passes through (2, –1)
Savatey [412]

using the formula:

y = mx +b

Using the given slope and coordinate points we get:

-1 = -3(2) + b

-1 = -6 + b

add 6 to each side

5 = b

y = -3x + 5

which is the same as:

3x + y = 5 ...answer choice a

Una recta que pasa por los puntos A (2,1) y B (6,3) y otra recta pasa por A y por el punto (0,y) ¿Cuánto vale y, si ambas rectas
ASHA 777 [7]

The translation of the question given is

A line that passes through the points A (2,1) and B (6,3) and another line passes through A and through the point (0, y). What is y worth, if both lines are perpendicular?

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Line 1 that passes through A (2,1) and B (6,3)  

Slope (m1) = 3-1/6-2 = 2/4 = 1/2

y - 1 = \frac{1}{2} ( x -2)

2y - 2 = x- 2

y = \frac{x}{2}

Line 2 passes through A (2,1) and (0,y)

slope (m2) =\frac{y-1}{-2}

Line 1 and Line 2  are perpendicular

m1*m2 = -1

\frac{1}{2}  * \frac{y-1}{-2} = -1

y-1 = 4

y = 5

slope = -2

Equation of Line 2

Y-1 = -2(x-2)

y -1 = -2x +4

2x +y = 5

Find All numbers whose absolute value is 2
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute Value. Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative. The absolute value of 2 + 7 is 5.

Has two solutions x = a and x = -a because both numbers are at the distance a from 0. ... An absolute value equation has no solution if the absolute value expression equals a negative number since an absolute value can never be negative.
