Two numbers in a ratio 5:4 . Their sun is 720.find the bigger number.show your reasoning

1 answer:

6 0

5x + 4x = 720
9x = 720 (divide by 9)
X= 80
In order to get the bigger ratio, which is 5, you would substitute x for 80. (I'm bad at explaining)
Work:
5(80)= 400

Pls work out and give detail. Use the slope formula to determine the slope of each line.

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$m=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

Determine the slope of the line

From the attachment, we have the following points

$(x_1,y_1) = (-4,1)$

and

$(x_2,y_2) = (3,1)$

The slope m is then calculated using:

$m = \frac{y_2- y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Substitute values for the x's and y's

$m = \frac{1-1}{3 - (-4)}$

$m = \frac{1-1}{3 +4}$

$m = \frac{0}{7}$

$m=0$

Hence, the slope is 0
