Graph the line y=5x. Then graph the line y=x. Then look at them and describe in what ways they are the same or different.
Answer: The new ratio will be 1/4
Explanation: The initial ratio of losses to wins is 3 to 2. If we sum the numer of losses and wins 3 + 2 = 5 games, that means they loss 3 out of 5 games , and they win 2 out of 5 games.
So if they had won twice as many of the games, that is 2*2=4. And since the number of games is the same ( 5 ), then they would have won 4 games and loss only 1.
So the new ratio of losses to wins will be 1 to 4, or expressed in a fraction: 1/4
-4x + 8y = 2
-4x + 4x + 8y = 2 + 4x
8y = 4x + 2

y = ¹/₂x + ¹/₄
I put in a graph and the equation
y<2x-5
y>-3x+1
