Can 2yards and 60 inches be expressed as a ratio if so express the ratio in simplest form

Write the expression without the fraction bar.

For problems like this you can move the y's on the bottem up top by fliping the sign of the exponent (in this case 7 to -7) and MULTIPLYING it with EVERYTHING on top, then because of properties of multplication you can add the exponents to combine them into one term (in this case add 3 and -7 to get -4) $\frac{ y^{3} }{y^{7}}=y^3 *y^{-7} = y^{3+-7}=y^{3-7}=y^-4$ If any of this does not make sense let me know and ill try to clarify better

You saved $300 to spend over the summer. You decide to budget $50 to spend each week.

Answer:

Part c)

The Slope of the line is: m=-50 and represents the amount of money spent per week.

Part d)

The y-intercept is: c=300 and represents the maximum money we have that can be spend over the weeks (i.e. our maximum budget alowed).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we shall look at linear equations of the simplest form reading:

$y = mx+c$ Eqn(1).

where:

$y$ : is our dependent variable that changes as a function of x

$x$ : is our independent variable that 'controls' our equation of y

$m$ : is the slope of the line

$c$ : is our y-intercept assuming an $x$ ⇔ $y$ relationship graph.

This means that as $x$ changes so does $y$ as a result.

Given Information:

Here we know that $300 is our Total budget and thus our maximum value (of money) we can spend, so with respect to Eqn (1) here:

$c=300$

The budget of $50 here denotes the slope of the line, thus how much money is spend per week, so with respect to Eqn (1) here:

$m=50$

So finally we have the following linear equation of:

$y= - 50x + 300$ Eqn(2).

Notice here our negative sign on the slope of the line. This is simply because as the weeks pass by, we spend money therefore our original total of $300 will be decreasing by $50 per week.

So with respect to Eqn(2), and different weeks thus various $x$ values we have:

Week 1: $x=1$ we have $y= -50 *1 + 300 = -50 +300 = 250$ dollars.
