Answer:
y + 6 = (-8/5)(x - 1) in point-slope form
Step-by-step explanation:
Moving from the 1st point to the first, we see that x (the 'run') increases by 5 from -4 to 1, and y (the 'rise') decreases by 8. Thus, the slope of the line through these two points is m = rise / run = -8/5
Now we have two points on the line, plus the slope. Let's write out the point-slope formula for the equation of a straight line:
y - k = m(x - h), where (h, k) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.
Here, using the point (1, -6), we obtain:
y + 6 = (-8/5)(x - 1) in point-slope form
Answer: See attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
When we have a simple x = a equation, the line will be vertical since all y values of that function/equation are equal to a. In this case, that is 1.
Similar thing for a y = b equation. The line will be horizontal since all x values of that function/equation are equal to b. In this case, that is -5.
Answer:
Conversion a mixed number 1 2/

To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 1 by the denominator 3. Whole number 1 equally 1 * 3/
3
= 3/

b) Add the answer from previous step 3 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 3 + 2 = 5
c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 5) over the denominator 3.
One and two thirds is five thirds
Conversion a mixed number 2 1/

b) Add the answer from previous step 6 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 6 + 1 = 7
c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 7) over the denominator 3.
Two and one third is seven thirds
Subtract: 5/

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(3, 3) = 3. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 3 × 3 = 9. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.
In words - five thirds minus seven thirds = minus two thirds.
