To form an equation with the given information, we use the formula :
y = mx + b, m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.
Since it is given that the slope is -9/7, we substitute m with -9/7.
y = -9/7x + b
To find b, we will substitute the known coordinates into the equation :
At point (-7 , 4), x = -7, y = 4
4 = -9/7 (-7) + b
4 = 9 + b
b = 4 - 9
b = -5
Now we know that b = -5, we will substitute b = -5 into the equation that we found earlier, y = -9/7 x + b :
y = - 9/7x - 5
To make it more readable, we can multiply the equation by 7:
7y = -9x - 5
7y + 9x + 5 = 0
-----------------------------------------------------------
Answer : 7y + 9x + 5 = 0
-----------------------------------------------------------
i believe it would be: 1/2y = x
y = 2.5
1) 2 1/3 is also equal to 7/3
4 1/5 is also equal to 21/5
you need to make the denominators the same so you have to find the lowest common multiple, which is 15 since both 5 and 3 can be times by to make 15
you need to also times the numerators by the number you're timesing the denominator by
7/3 x 5 = 35/15
21/5 x 3 = 63/15
now add those together
35/15 + 63/15 = 98/15
now just convert 98/15 back to a mixed fraction
98/15 = 6 8/15
the answer is..
I'll do the others in a different answer!!
Here! not sure if it's right but i'm pretty confident. boom
