Answer: 2

Explanation: To solve this problem, it's important to understand that we don't need to graph the line but we can use our slope formula. One method you could use is the graphing method which requires you to plot the points but I will be showing you the slope formula.

$m =\frac{ ^{y}2 - ^{y}1 }{x^{2} - x^{1} }$

We take our second y minus our first y

which in this case is 12 - 4

over our second x minus our first x

which in this case is 6 - 2.

So 12 - 4 over 6 - 2 simplifies to 8/4.

Notice that our slope can

be simplified one step further.

So 8/4 reduces to 2.

So the slope of the line that passes through these points is 2.

Select all that apply. Which of the following are proportions? 25/10=5/2,3/4=8/10,2/8=3/12,3/4=15/20

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

$\frac{25}{10} = \frac{5}{2}$ is in proportion.

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{10}$ is not in proportion.

$\frac{2}{8} = \frac{3}{12}$ is in proportion.

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{20}$ is in proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first example is $\frac{25}{10} = \frac{5}{2}$ and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction ( $\frac{5}{2}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{25}{10}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 5.

The second example is $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{10}$ and it is not in proportion.

This is because, you can not get the simplest fraction ( $\frac{3}{4}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{8}{10}$ after simplification.

The third example is $\frac{2}{8} = \frac{3}{12}$ and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction ( $\frac{1}{4}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{2}{8}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 2 and from the fraction $\frac{3}{12}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 3.

The fourth example is $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{20}$ and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction ( $\frac{3}{4}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{15}{20}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 5. (Answer)

Please Answer ASAP Math Question

If you were to factor you would do what my teacher likes to call reverse foil so it would look like this (x-9)(x+4) so what you do is you brainsrorm to see what multiplies what to get that and 9*4=36 so that is how you factor -36 to find the -9 Hope this helps if I'm correct if not I will try to find the answer
