First thing to do is to solve each of these for y. The first one is y=-4x-3; the second one is y=4x-21; the third one is y=4x+21; the fourth one is y=-4x+3. From that you can tell the positive slopes are found in the second and third equations. Those are the ones we will test now for the point (3, -9). y=-9 and x=3, so let's fill in accordingly. The second equation filled in is -9=4(3)-21. Does the left side equal the right when we do the math? -9=12-21 and -9=-9. So the second one works. Just for the sake of completion, let's do the same with the third: -9=4(3)+21. Does -9=12+21? Of course it doesn't. Our equation is the second one above, y+9=4(x-3).
Answer:
The ratio of female-to-male is 1:2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 10 female students and 20 male students. If we were to divide each number by 10, we would get 1 and 2, respectively. That means for every 1 female student, there are 2 male students. The ratio would then be 1:2.
