Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Pick two points on the line
(2,0) and (4,1)
Use the slope formula
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (1-0)/(4-2)
= 1/2
Answer:
p=75d
Step-by-step explanation:
The giraffe eats 75 pounds <u>per day</u> so that is the slope. So the equation is y=m(slope)x or in this case p=md
Well I am going to assume you need slope-intercept form. So the equation is y=mx+b. m is slope, b is y intercept. So you just plug it in -6= -1/2(6)+b. -6=-3+b. Now you figure out for b so what does b have to be to make the equation equal. Well -3 so -6=-3+-3, or -6=-6.
y=-1/2x-3

Alright, so since I don't have an example question, I will make one up.
there are 8 coins in total. there are 6 dimes. What is the fraction of dimes to coins.
you would put the amount of dimes on the top and the total on the bottom.
Answer: 6/8 which can be simplified to 3/4
Or another Example:
There are 12 pieces in the pizza. Billy took 4. what is the fraction of the slices left.
it would be 4-12= 8
Answer: 8/12 which can be simplified to 4/6 and then to 2/3
Hope that helped.
