The value of "b" is the y-intercept.

In order to figure out slope-intercept form you need 1 coordinate and the slope.
1) Find the slope, using the 2-point slope formula: "m= y2-y1 / x2-x1".
ex. m= -5 - 3 / -4 - -6 (simplify)---> m= -4

2) Fill in the blanks for point-slope formula: "y - y1 = m (x - x1)"
(choose one coordinate, it doesn't matter which one)
ex. y - -5 = -4 (x - -4)

3) Then use basic algebra to simplify.

scoundrel [369]

$\frac{x + 4}{7} -\frac{x + 3}{x + 5} =\frac{(x + 4)(x + 5)}{7(x + 5)} -\frac{7(x + 3)}{7(x + 5)} =\frac{x(x + 5) + 4(x + 5)}{7(x) + 7(5)} - \frac{7(x) + 7(3)}{7(x) + 7(5)} =\frac{x(x) + x(5) + 4(x) + 4(5)}{7x + 35} - \frac{7x + 21}{7x + 35} =\frac{x^{2} + 5x + 4x + 20}{7x + 35} -\frac{7x + 21}{7x + 35} =\frac{x^{2} + 9x + 20}{7x + 35} - \frac{7x + 21}{7x + 35} =\frac{(x^{2} + 9x + 20) - (7x + 21)}{7x + 35} =\frac{x^{2} + (9x - 7x) + (20 - 21)}{7x + 35} =\frac{x^{2} + 2x -1}{7x + 35}$

Merrida uses a pattern in the multiplication table below to find ratios that are equivalent to 7:9. If Merrida multiplies the fi

Answer:

Multiply 9 by 6

Step-by-step explanation:

7:9 is the ratio

We multiply the first term by 6.

What we do to one side, we do to the other

7*6=42

9*6 = 54

That way we keep the ratio in the same proportion

42:54
