3/4−2/5=7/20

Solution with Steps

3/4−2/5=?

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(3/4, 2/5) = 20

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(3/4×5/5)−(2/5×4/4)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

15/20−8/20=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.

Then:

15−8/20=7/20

This fraction cannot be reduced.

Therefore:

3/4−2/5=7/20

Solution by Formulas

Apply the fractions formula for subtraction, to

3/4−2/5

and solve

(3×5)−(2×4)/4×5

=15−8/20

=7/20

Therefore:

3/4−2/5=7/20

If a line passes thru the points (4,5) and (2,9) the slope of this line is

Allisa [31]

Answer:

m=-2

Explanation:

If a line passes through the points (4,5) and (2,9): to calculate the slope, use the formula below:

$\text{Slope,m}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}$

Substituting the points, we have:

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{9-5}{2-4} \\ =\frac{4}{-2} \\ =-2 \end{gathered}$

The slope of this line is -2.

Find the slope of the line containing the given pair of points. If the slope is undefined, state this. (-8,0) and (4,0)

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The slope is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (-8,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (4,0)$

Required

The slope (m)

This is calculated as"

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

$m=\frac{0-0}{4 -(-8)}$

$m=0$

<em>The slope is 0</em>
