Answer:

$-\frac{17}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the common denominator of 8 and 12, which is 24.

Next we rewrite our fractions:

$-\frac{9}{24} - \frac{8}{24} = -\frac{17}{24}$

This cannot be reduced.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:}\\\\y=mx+b\\\\m-\text{slope}\\b-\text{y-intercept}\\\\\text{Let}\\\\k:y=m_1x+b_1\\l:y=m_2x+b_2\\\\k\ \perp\ l\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\\\k\ ||\ l\iff m_1=m_2\\=========================$

$\text{We have}\ y=5x+2\to m_1=5\\\\\text{therefore}\ m_2=5.\\\\\text{Put the value of the slope and the coordinates of the given point (-2, 1)}\\\text{to the equation of a line:}\\\\1=5(-2)+b\\1=-10+b\qquad\text{add 10 to both sides}\\1+10=-10+10+b\\11=b\to b=11\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\y=5x+11$

Students in a class were asked to name their favorite sport they like to watch on television. How many more time students want t

levacccp [35]

First, we need to add up all the percentages to make sure we have 100%.

25.5% + 0.03% = 25.53%

This means that 74.47% of the students chose something other than basketball or soccer.

The amount of students you stated there were was 2553.

25.5% of 2553 is 651 students and

0.03% is 8 students.

Now, we divide 651 by 8 to determine the amount of times over basketball was chosen.

651 ÷ 8 = 81

Basketball was chosen 81 times over again compared to soccer.

To find how much more times basketball was chosen, subtract 8 from 651

651 - 8 = 643

Basketball was chosen 643 times more than soccer.
