Answer: B. $\dfrac{-1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given picture, we have two lines area parallel, one is red and other is green.

We know that the slopes of parallel lines are equal.

Therefore, if the green line has a slope of $\dfrac{-1}{2}$ then ,the slope of red line will also be $\dfrac{-1}{2}$ because they are parallel.

Hence, B is the correct option.

Say that the economy is in an expansion, causing wages to increase by six percent. if you previously received a monthly salary o

Westkost [7]

From previously received a monthly salary of $1,375.00, Your new monthly salary increase by six percent would be $1,457.50.

What is the percentage?

A percentage is a minimum number or ratio that is measured by a fraction of 100.

You previously received a monthly salary of $1,375.00

Now by economic expansion, causing wages to increase by 6%

Increment of the salary = 6% of 1,375.00

= 6/100 × 1,375

= 0.06 × 1,375

= $82.50

So, your new monthly salary would be = $1,375.00 + $82.50

= $1,457.50

Hence, your new monthly salary would be $1,457.50.

Which two ratios form a proportion?

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

02:3 and 12:18

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion is formed when the larger ratio can be simplified to equal the smaller ratio:

02:3 and 4:12

Reducing the larger ratio: 4:12=1:3

Hence, not a proportion.

02:3 and 6:12

Reducing the larger ratio: 6:12=1:2

Hence, not a proportion.

02:3 and 12:18

Reducing the larger ratio: 12:18=2:3

Hence, they form a proportion.

02:3 and 12:18

Reducing the larger ratio: 12:36=1:3

Hence, not a proportion.
