Answer:
5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
the smaller one is 1/3 of the size of the bigger one
119/8 is already in simplest form. However, if you attempt to change it to a mixed number the correct answer would be 14 7/8 (7 over 8).
Hope I helped!
When y varies inversely as x ⇒ y*x=k
y=27 and x=40 ⇒27*40=1080=k
y*10=1080
y=1080:10
y=108
Recall that the general equation for a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
First, let's find the slope by finding
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1):
(-8-0)/(-5-3)
-8/-8
1
Now we know the equation is y=1x+b, or y=x+b.
By plugging in one of the two points we know is on the line, we can solve for b.
0=3+b
b=-3
So the equation is:
y=x-3
