Slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)
(there is probably another way to do this, but I will be doing it this way)
Isolate the "y" in the equation
3x + 4y = 12 Subtract 3x on both sides
4y = 12 - 3x Divide 4 on both sides
or
The slope is -3/4
For lines to be parallel, they have to have the SAME slope. The given line's slope is -3/4, so the slope of the parallel line is also
Answer:
0.125 and 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100 to move 2 decimal places to the left.
12.50% / 100 = 0.125
To convert a percentage into a fraction, rewrite the decimal number you got and put it over 1. Multiply the numerator and denominator by 1000 to move 3 decimal places to the right and get your fraction.
·
= 125/1000
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF, 125, to get your simplified fraction.
125/125 = 1
1000/125 = 8
125/1000 = 1/8
