I got the same answer as you. Try to ask your teacher about it since it’s a math problem online or something.
2/ 3 - (3 - 1) * 3 - 1 = -4
Simplify
= 2/-4
which is
= -2/4
Then simplify again
= -1/2
A whole number that would support Cindys claim would be 2 because if u do the ,math it would be 8/24 which would be .333 repeating which is simplify to 1/3 and i do not know a number that would not work.
The equation can be rewritten as x = -2/3 y, so x/y = -2/3
However, for y=0, the ratio is undefined as you would be dividing by 0??
Answer:
We can note that this part of the graph is a linear function. This means that is has a general form: y = mx + c where m is the slop and c is the y-intercept (value of y at x=0). For the slope, we will use the points (0,2) and (3,5) to calculate it as follows: m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (5-2)/(3-0) = 1 For the y-intercept, we can note that at x=0, the value of y is 2. This means that the equation of the first part of the graph is: y = x + 2
