Her mistake is that she did the change in x over the change in y. It should be the change in y over the change in x. So: -2-3/-2-4

In the slope formula, The difference in the y-values are on the numerator and the difference in the x-values are on the denominator.
It should be:
(-2-3)/(-2-4)

If 3/x = 5/y , what is the value of y/x ?

VashaNatasha [74]

$\dfrac{3}{x} = \dfrac{5}{y}$

Cross-Multiply:
$3y = 5x$

Divide by 3 on both sides:
$y = \dfrac{5x}{3}$

Divide by x on both sides:
$\dfrac{y}{x} = \dfrac{5}{3}$

What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box.

This is an equilateral triangle because all the sides are the same length shown by the tic marks. This means that the angles are also all congruent. so...
S=T=R this also means that all angles are 60 degrees because all triangles angles added together are 180 degrees. so that means that you put all of the equations equal to 60. but if u are looking for x only here is the answer
7x+4=60
7x=56
x=8

Liula [17]

Answer:

the y -intercpt is the 3

the slope is -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because the 3 is the starting point on the y-axis and the slope is -3/4 because you are going down 3 to the right 4 ---hope this helps
