Cafeteria ratio of Swiss cheese to cheddar cheese is 15:17.

Perry’s ratio of Swiss chess to cheddar cheese is 5:7.

Wrong ratio because 5 * 3 = 15 but 7 * 3 does not equal 17.

For this case we have that by definition, it is known as proportion to the relationship of equality that exists between two reasons, that is, between two comparisons. That is: if \frac {a} {b}is a ratio, then the equality \frac {a} {b} = \frac {c} {d} will be a proportion.

Then, 15 cups of Swiss cheese for every 17 cheddar:

15:17\\\frac {15} {17}

We want to verify the proportion:

15:17 :: 5: 7\\\frac {15} {17} = \frac {5} {7}\\7 * 15 = 5 * 17

Equality is not met!

Answer:

You are not using the correct proportion

QveST [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = -x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form can be a useful place to start.

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

You require the line ...

  y -(-4) = -1(x -7)

  y = -x +7 -4 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, add -4

  y = -x +3 . . . . . . . . . slope-intercept form
