Answer:
<em>a:b:c=8:12:15</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Combined Ratio</u>
We are given the ratios:
a:b=2:3
b:c=4:5
The combined ratio a:b:c will include all three variables in one single expression.
Before finding it, we must have a common number for the common variable (b). Since b is 3 in the first ratio and 4 in the second ratio, we must equate both by finding the LCM of 3 and 4=12, thus both ratios will be amplified as follows:
a:b=2:3=(2*4):(3*4)=8:12
b:c=4:5=(4*3):(5*3)=12:15
Now there is a common factor in both ratios, we can combine them removing the common factor:
a:b:c=8:12:15
The slope between the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(0,6) and (5,-4)
x1=0
y1=6
x2=5
y2=-4
slope=(-4-6)/(5-0)=-10/5=-2
slope=-2
Answer:
True, False, True, False, False
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(4,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x - 4 -------eqn 1
4y = x + 12 ------eqn 2
From eqn 1 y = 2x - 4; insert in eqn 2
4 (2x-4) = x + 12 (open the bracket)
8x - 16 = x + 12 (taking like figures to the same side, sign changes)
8x - x = 12 + 16
7x = 28
x = 28/7
x = 4
From eqn 1
y = 2x - 4
y = 2(4) - 4
y = 8 - 4
y = 4
(x,y) = (4,4)
