Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : Girls = 7 : 8

Let the number of boy = 7x

The number of girls = 8x

Number of boys after 20% increase = 120% of 7x

                                                            = 1.2 * 7x

                                                             = 8.4 x

                               

Number of girls after 10% increase = 110% of 8x

                                                           = 1.1 * 8x

                                                           = 8.8x                    

After increase in number of boys & girls = 8.4x : 8.8x

                      = 84 : 88    { reduce to simplest form by giving by 4th table}

                     = 21 :  22

7. Write the equation of a line which passes through the points (-3,5) and (6,23)
faust18 [17]

Answer:

answer to the equation is

y = 2x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

first find the slope of the line using the two points

slope \: m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}  =  \frac{23 - 5}{6 - ( - 3)}   \\ =  \frac{18}{9}  \\ slope \: m = 2

substitute 2 for m and use one of the points for x and y and solve for b

5 = 2( - 3) + b \\ 5 =  - 6 + b \\ 5 + 6 = b \\ b = 11

Now that you found b, the y-intercept, you can substitute that into the equation for your line

y = 2x + 11
