Answer:

Because dividing is basically multiply by the inverse.

Step-by-step explanation:

Much like negating a number from a number is adding the later one to the flipped sign of the earlier number, dividing a fraction by a fraction means you multiply the later by the inverse of the earlier. To find the inverse of a fraction, you flip it upside down.

A class has 12 boys and 18 girls. the class as a whole has a gpa (grade point average) of 2.88, and the boys have a gpa of 2.52.
MrRissso [65]
<span>3.12 First, write an equation to express what you know. g = number of girls b = number of boys b * 2.52 + g * x = 2.88(b+g) Solve for x, first substitute known values for g and b 12 * 2.52 + 18 * x = 2.88(12+18) Add and multiply what you already know 30.24 + 18x = 86.4 Subtract 30.24 from both sides 18x = 56.16 Divide both sides by 18 x = 3.12 Therefore the GPA of the girls is 3.12</span>

What is the equation for a line that passes through the points (-5,-4) and (10,14)?
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

y=6/5x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.find the slope(m)

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=14-(-4)/10-(-5)

m=14+4/10+5

m=18/15

m=6/5

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-4)=6/5(x-(-5))

y+4=6/5(x+5)

y+4=6/5x+30/5

y=6/5x+30/5-4

y=6/5x+10/5

y=6/5x+2
