The slope is basically the gradient of the line which is m in the equation y=mx+c

rearrange the equation given so it is in the form y=mx+c

4x - 2y = 5
(-5) (-5)

4x -5 -2y = 0
(+2y) (+2y)

2y = 4x - 5
(÷2) (÷2)

y = 2x - 2.5

so here m = 2

therefore the answer is E

write three ratios that are equilvalent to the one given:18 right-handed students for every 4 left handed students

galina1969 [7]

Well, your ratio given is 18 to 4. so multiply both numbers (18 and 4) by some number and you will have an equivalent ratio.
example: if you had 2 times as many people, then an equivalent ratio would be 18*2 to 4*2 = 36 to 8

3) An existing track is perpendicular to y=1/2x + 2 and passes through B(7,5)

stira [4]

Answer:

2. $y=\frac{1}{2}x +3$

Step-by-step explanation:

2. The line will be parallel to the current track which means they have the same slope. To write the equation, use the slope m=1/2 and the point (2,4) in point slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-4=\frac{1}{2}(x-2)$

This is the equation of the line. You can convert it to slope intercept form:

$y-4=\frac{1}{2}(x-2)\\y-4 = \frac{1}{2}x -1 \y=\frac{1}{2}x +3$
