Count the total number of students who prefer fiction novels: In 9th grade there are 35, in 10th grade there are 52, so there are 87 students who prefer fictions. The proportion of 10th grade students out of these 87 students is 52/87=0.60 approximately.
You can try then by plotting the points in.
The answer is C
Make sure by plotting in the points, lets take (-5,27)
y = 12 -3(-5)
y = 12 + 15
y = 27
27 = 27
This is correct
Lets try (-1,15)
y = 12 -3(-1)
y = 12 + 3
y = 15
15 = 15
This is correct
Lets try (8,-12)
y = 12 -3(8)
y = 12 - 24
y = -12
-12 = -12
This is correct too.
The correct ordered pairs are <span>C(-5,27),(-1,15),(8,-12)</span>
The answer to this question is (9.5)...
There is no option saying 9.5?
The answer is The formula for the area of a parallelogram is A = bh, and the formula for area of a triangle is A = 1/2bh. Since a triangle is half of the area of a parallelogram with the same base and height, the only difference in the formula is 1/2.
