Why does it take three copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as one copy of one half

It takes three copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as one copy of 1/2.

Why this is is because a sixth is smaller than a half. There are six sixths in a whole. There are only two halves in a whole.

So when you divide the whole into six parts, you would need half of the parts to have a half. Like down here: <em>(not correct to scale, sorry)</em>

|-------------------|----------------------|

|-----|------|-------|------|-------|-------|

It takes 3 of the sixths to = 1 half.
another way you can check is by simplifying your fractions.
3/6, when you divide by 3 top and bottom, = 1/2
I hope this answers your question somewhat. Please ask if there's anything more

Select two points that the line would go through. Practice graphing it on a piece of paper in front of you.
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

(2, -2) and (1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept means that the coordinate where the line touches the y-axis. In other words, the y value(-4) when x=0. The result is (0, -4). The y coordinate also can be used to fill c variable of y=mx + c

We have 2 coordinates now, (3, -1) and (0, -4), then we can find out the line equation. We need to find the slope (m), the formula will be:

m= y2-y1 / x2-x1=  

m= -4 - (-1) / (0-3)

m= -3/-3= 1

The line equation is:

y= mx + c

y= 1x + (-4)

y= x-4

After you have the equation, you can try to test the point individually to find if any of them fit the equation. You can also draw a line on the graph and see if any point touches the graph.

Red dot is the two point we have, red line is straight line that made from both point, and blue point is the option. As you can see on the graph, the points that touch the line will be (2, -2) and (1,-3)
