WARRIOR [948]3 years ago

Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

5/7 minus 1/2 is 5/7 - 1/2

5/7 and 1/2 are both called proper fractions. 5 and 1 in each fraction are called the numerator while 7 and 2 are called denominators

5/7 - 1/2

Step one

Find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of each fractions

Multiples of 7

7 x 1 = 7

7 x 2 = 14

7 x 3 = 21

Multiples of 2

2 x 1 = 2

2 x 2 = 4

2 x 3 = 6

2 x 4 = 8

2 x 5 = 10

2 x 6 = 12

2 x 7 = 14

The lowest common multiple of 2 and 7 is 14

Step 2

The LCM of 2 and 7 becomes the common denominator for both fractions.

14/7 = 2

14/2 = 7

5/7 - 1/2 = [2(5) - 7(1)]/14 = (10 - 7)/14

= 3/14

Linea ab pases through points a (-6,7) and b(-6,-3) as shown on the coordinate grid below​
hoa [83]

Answer:

x= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that a(-6,7) and b(-6,-3) have the same x-coordinate (-6).  This means that x is constant and that the line is a vertical one (x = -6).

The equation of the line through these two points is x = -6.
