First you would find that not all the units are the same in this problem, so you convert yards to feet. So 4 yards = 12 feet.

The proportion you would make would be x/12 = 2/1

Kipish [7]
If you would like to solve (- 0.5) / (- 0.5) and - 50 / (- 0.5), you can do this using the following few steps:

(- 0.5) / (- 0.5) = 0.5 / 0.5 = 1

- 50 / (- 0.5<span>) = 50 / 0.5 = 50 / (5/10) = 50 / (1/2) = 50 * 2/1 = 100
</span>
The correct results would be: (- 0.5) / (- 0.5) = 1 and - 50 / (- 0.5<span>) = 100.</span>

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

See attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to graph the line with slope

m =  \frac{2}{5}

and y-intercept ,

b =  - 7

The equation of this line is

y =  \frac{2}{5}x - 7

Starting at -7 on the y-axis, we run 5 units and rise 2 units right.

Then draw a line through the y intercept and the new point

The graph is shown in the attachment.
