Think about it like this- 6 is greater than 5 but less than 7. This trick works because all the fractions have the same denominational number.

6/8=0.75
5/8=0.625
7/8=0.875
Since 7/8 is closer to 8/8(1) therefore it is the largest among the three. And since 5/8 is the furthest from 8/8 (1) therefore it is behind 6/8. Therefore 5/8<6/8<7/8

Write an inequality comparing the rational numbers -3/4 and -2.
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 < -3/4.  Another way in which to do this would be to use the LCD:

-8/4 < -3/4.

Even though 8 has a larger magnitude than does 3, -8/4 is smaller than -3/4.  On the number line, -8/4 (or -2) is to the left of -3/4.

A line has a slope of -4 and passes through the point (2,-5) <br> which is the equation of the line
dimulka [17.4K]

We will be using the Point Slope formula which is y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )

The information we are given is that m = -4 and the point is (2,-5), so we can input it into the equation.

y- (-5) = -4(x-2)

This simplifies into y+5 = -4x +8

Then we can subtract 5 from each side to get the answer:

y = 4x+3
