Answer:
600 seats
Step-by-step explanation:
We know there is 120 seats on a balcony and that is
of the total seats, we want to find the total number of seats so,
120 seats = 
We know that a whole fraction sums to 1 so for example 
120 seats = 
Multiply both sides to make it a whole fraction
600 seats = 
So if there is 120 seats and that number is only
of the total number of seats then the total number of seats is 600
Question:
Find the point (,) on the curve
that is closest to the point (3,0).
[To do this, first find the distance function between (,) and (3,0) and minimize it.]

Hence:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
slope intercept form is y = mx + b
b is the y intercept ( crossing y axis value).... by inspection b = -4
m is the slope of the line, Slope = m = 1/4 note: the slope is positive
the slope equals the 'rise' over 'run'
if the line moves up the slope is positive, if the line moves down the slope is negative
the rise is how many y units does the line go 'up' or 'down'
the run is how many x units does the line go 'left' or 'right'
the rise = 1 Y unit
the run = 4 X units
y = mx + b m =1/4 b = -4
y = (1/4)x + (-4)
y = (1/4)x - 4
graph a line stating at y = -4 and going up (rising) to the right ONE Y Unit for every FOUR X units (the run)
