How you know fractions are equivalent

1 answer:

8 0

A simple way to look at how to check for equivalent fractions is to do what is called “cross-multiply”, which means multiple the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction. Then do the same thing in reverse. Now compare the two answers to see if they areequal.

Question:

Triangles PQR and RST are similar right triangles. Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of PR is equal to the slope of RT?

Answer:

$\frac{3 - 7}{-4 - (-7)} = \frac{-5 - 3}{2 - (-4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for complete question

From the attachment, we have that:

$P = (-7,7)$

$Q = (-7,3)$

$R = (-4,3)$

$S = (-4,5)$

$T = (2,-5)$

First, we need to calculate the slope (m) of PQR

Here, we consider P and R

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Where

$P(x_1,y_1) = (-7,7)$

$R(x_2,y_2) = (-4,3)$

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ becomes

$m = \frac{3 - 7}{-4 - (-7)}$ --------- (1)

Next, we calculate the slope (m) of RST

Here, we consider R and T

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Where

$R(x_1,y_1) = (-4,3)$

$T (x_2,y_2)= (2,-5)$

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ becomes

$m = \frac{-5 - 3}{2 - (-4)}$ ---------- (2)

Next, we equate (1) and (2)

$\frac{3 - 7}{-4 - (-7)} = \frac{-5 - 3}{2 - (-4)}$

From the list of given options (see attachment), option A answers the question

Answer:

We conclude that the rule for the table in terms of x and y is:

y = 3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The table indicates that there is constant change in the x and y values, meaning the table represents the linear function the graph of which would be a straight line.

We know the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Taking two points

(-2, -4)

(-1, -1)

Finding the slope between (-2, -4) and (-1, -1)

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-2,\:-4\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-1,\:-1\right)$

$m=\frac{-1-\left(-4\right)}{-1-\left(-2\right)}$

$m=3$

We know that the y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0 and finding the corresponding y-value.

Taking another point (0, 2) from the table.

It means at x = 0, y = 2.

Thus, the y-intercept b = 2

Using the slope-intercept form of the linear line function

y = mx+b

substituting m = 3 and b = 2

y = 3x+2

Therefore, we conclude that the rule for the table in terms of x and y is:

y = 3x+2
