Hello!

5 = 5/1 as a fraction

2/5 × 5/1 = 2

ANSWER:

The product of 2/5 and 5 is greater than 2/5, and less than 5.

Another way you could find out if it's greater or less is by converting the fraction to a decimal and then multiplying it.
You must divide the numerator by the denominator to convert a fraction to a decimal.

2 ÷ 5 = 0.4

0.4 × 5 = 2

Answer:

$2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Every time the x-value increases by 1, the y-value increases by 2. Therefore, the slope of the line must be equal to $2/1=\boxed{2}$ (rise/y-values over run/x-values). In slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$ , $m$ represents the slope of the line, $b$ represents the y-intercept, and $(x,y)$ represents any point the line passes through.

Since $m$ represents the slope of the line, the value of

While the question only asks for this value, it's good to note that the equation of the function is $y=2x+7$ (find 7 by substituting any ordered pair in the table with $m=2$ ).
