Any number above 0 would support his claim and any negative number would go against it because the closer a negative number is to 0, the bigger the number really is
The slope is always going to be rise over run so the answer is 3/12 but in simplest form it is 1/4
Answer:
A denominator of 15
Step-by-step explanation:
3 and 5 both go into 15, 4/5 = 12/15 and 2/3=10/15
Answer:
ST = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Line segment RS and segment ST must add up to line segment RT
Step 1: Define
RS = 17
ST = x + 6
RT = 3x - 5
Step 2: Set up equation
mRS + mST = mRT
17 + x + 6 = 3x - 5
Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>
x + 23 = 3x - 5
23 = 2x - 5
28 = 2x
x = 14
Step 3: Find mST
ST = x + 6
ST = 14 + 6
ST = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
If y was directly proportional to x, the graph of y against x would pass through the origin (O).
Since the graph above does not show this, y is not directly proportional to x.
