How can you write any rate as a unit rate?

The problem must have two terms, and you must be asked to determine how much of one term exists per unit of the other term. Rewrite the data as a division problem. The first term in the problem—the amount you are trying to calculate per unit—will become the numerator (top number). The second term—the unit—will become the denominator (bottom number). Divide both values by the denominator. To find the unit rate, simply solve the newly written division problem. Doing so will reduce the denominator to "1." Write the solution. You should now have your final answer ready.

Answer:When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. If you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.

Find the equation in standard form of the line passing through the points 3,-4 and 5,1

Answer:

5x - 2y - 23 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Line is passing through the points $(3,\:-4)= (x_1, \:y_1) \: \&\: (5,\: 1)= (x_2,\:y_2)$

Equation of line in two point form is given as:

$\frac{y -y_1 }{y_1 -y_2 } = \frac{x -x_1 }{x_1 -x_2 } \\ \\ \therefore \: \frac{y -( - 4) }{ - 4 -1} = \frac{x -3 }{3 -5 } \\ \\ \therefore \:\frac{y + 4 }{ - 5} = \frac{x -3 }{ - 2 } \\ \\ \therefore \: \frac{y + 4 }{ 5} = \frac{x -3 }{ 2 } \\ \\ \therefore \: 2(y + 4) = 5(x - 3) \\ \therefore \: 2y + 8 = 5x - 15 \\ \therefore \: 5x - 15 - 2y - 8 = 0 \\ \red{ \boxed{ \bold{\therefore \: 5x - 2y - 23 = 0}}} \\ is \: the \: required \: equation \: of \: line \: in \: \\ standard \: form.$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The step shown indicates that y was eliminated from the equations. For choices A, B, D, this is done by adding the equations together (the y-coefficients are opposites). The result of doing that gives x-terms of 4x, 0x, and 0x, respectively. These x-terms do not match the one given: 2x.

For choice C, the y-term is eliminated by subtracting twice the second equation from the first. Doing that gives ...

(4x +2y) -2(x +y) = (14) -2(3)

4x +2y -2x -2y = 14 -6 . . . . eliminate parentheses

2x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
