On a graph, going down or left is a decrease, while going up or right is an increase.
From the origin point, going down 15.5 units would result in negative 15.5 (-15.5).
Think about if you have 4 apples. If you add 2 more, that would an increase and would be represented by a positive number, for positive rate of change. But if you then take away 3 apples, then your amount of apples would go down, it would decrease. And this decrease is represented for a negative number, for a negative rate of change.

So the answer is negative.

Find the ratio a:b, if 2a−b/6 = b/3
evablogger [386]

If 2a−b/6 = b/3, then ratio a:b = 3 : 2

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that 2a−b/6 = b/3

We have to find the ratio of a:b

In mathematics, a ratio indicates how many times one number contains another

A ratio between two or more quantities is a way of measuring their sizes compared to each other

let us first solve the given expression

\frac{2a -b}{6} = \frac{b}{3}

On cross multiplication we get,

6a - 3b = 6b

6a = 6b + 3b

6a = 9b

a = \frac{9b}{6}\\\\\frac{a}{b} = \frac{3}{2}

To convert a fraction to a ratio, first write down the numerator, or top number. Second, write a colon. Thirdly, write down the denominator, or bottom number

Therefore ratio a:b = 3 : 2
