Multiplying fractions: multiply numerators and multiply denominators
1. 3/4 X -6/7 = -18/28 = -9/14
2. -2/7 X -3/7 = 6/49
3. 4 because 72/9 is 8. -72/-9 is 8. Two negatives makes a positive when multiplying and dividing.
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope of a line is always the factor of x.
here : 1/2
it is the ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain angina amount of units when going from one point to another.
a perpendicular slope puts x and y upside-down and flips the sign.
here : -2/1 = -2
so, the equation looks like
y = -2x + b
b is the y-intercept, and we get this by putting the x and y coordinates of the given point into this equation and solve for b :
-1 = -2×-2 + b
-1 = 4 + b
b = -5
the full equation is therefore
y = -2x - 5
Answer:1/2 y
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this using ration reasoning:
x
2
x
1
=
y
2
y
1
Explanation:
If
x
varies directly with
y
(written
x
∝
y
), then doubling
y
means doubling
x
, so the rations of final values and initial values will be the same:
x
2
x
1
=
y
2
y
1
In this case,
x
2
9
=
24
18
x
2
=
9
⋅
24
18
=
12
Or, intuitively, if
x
∝
y
and
x
=
9
when
y
=
18
, we can conclude that
x
=
1
2
y
and
1
2
of 24 is 12.
