The answer is 7 3/4.
Turn into improper fraction
= 77/8 − 15/8

= ((77 × 8) − (15 × 8)) / (8 × 8)

= (616 - 120) / 64

= 496/64

= 31/4

First, I would convert it an improper fraction. 9 5/8 = 77/8 1 7/8 = 15/8 77 - 15 = 62. The denominator stays the same. 62/8. Divide to make it a mixed number. 62/8 = 7 6/8 Simplified to = 7 3/4

U = (-2,3)

V = (3,0)

midpoint of UV

= ( (3-2)/2 , (3+0)/2 )

= ( 1/2 , 3/2)

= ( 0.5 , 1.5)

X = (0.5 , 1.5) [from fig]

midpoint of UV = X

W= (-2,-3)

V =( 3.0)

Y = ( (-2+3)/2 , (-3+0)/2 )

= (0.5 , - 1.5)

Y = ( 0.5 , -1.5) [ from fig ]

Y is the midpoint of WV

by midpoint theorem ,

UW = 2( XY )

What is the standard form of the equation y=-5/2x-3 ?

butalik [34]

The standard form of an equation is the form where that equation has no fractions and is written in the form ax + by = c.

To get rid of the fractions in y = -5/2 x - 3, we need to multiply both sides by 2. That makes the equation become:

2y = -5x - 6

Now we need to get it into the form ax + by = c. We can do this by adding 5x to each side.

5x + 2y = -6 is our answer
