first you need to find the least common denominator which in this case it is 40. since 5 and 8 both go into 40.

5/8 = 25/40

3/5 = 24/40

25/40 - 24/40 =1/40

does this make sense to you?

Y=12x<br> Do x and y vary directly ?

Answer:

Yes, they vary directly

Step-by-step explanation:

y=kx; k is the constant (12 in this case) and as x increases y increases, so they vary directly

The vertices of the triangle are the points where any pair of lines intersect.

We start by setting up the system

$\begin{cases}y=-x+2\\y=2x-1 \end{cases} \iff -x+2=2x-1 \iff 3x=3 \iff x=1$

Using one of the two equations we can derive the correspondent y value:

$f(x)=-x+2 \implies f(1)=-1+2 = 1$

So, one vertex is (1, 1)

We choose the other two pairs of lines to find the other vertices:

$\begin{cases}y=-x+2\\y=x-2 \end{cases} \iff -x+2=x-2 \iff x=2 \implies y = 0$

$\begin{cases}y=x-2\\y=2x-1 \end{cases} \iff x-2=2x-1 \iff x=-1 \implies y=-3$

So, the three vertices are (1, 1), (2, 0), (-1, -3).
