The correct answer is 110 cm

Explanation:

Fractions always include two values (one at the top and the other at the bottom) and they represent the proportion of something, for example, 1/2 of an apple means there is only half apple. Now, to calculate how much is 5/7 of 154 centimeters, simply divide the total number into the denominator (bottom number) and then multiply the result by the numerator (top number). This process is shown in detail below:

$\frac{5}{7}$ - 5 is the numerator and 7 is the denominator

5/7 of 154 cm

154 cm / 7 = 22

22 x 5 = 110 cm

So remember that slope-intercept form is y = mx+b (m = slope, b = y-intercept) and standard form is ax+by = c. (a and b are coefficients and c is the constant)

Starting with the first question: 9x + 2y = 6

Firstly, subtract 9x on both sides: 2y = -9x + 6

Next, divide both sides by 2, and your equation will be y = -4.5x + 3

Now with the next equation: y - 3 = 4(x + 1)

Firstly, foil 4(x + 1): y - 3 = 4x + 4

Next, subtract y on both sides: -3 = 4x - y + 4

Next, subtract 4 on both sides, and your answer will be: -7 = 4x - y

Next equation: y + 7 = -2(x - 3)

Firstly, foil -2(x - 3): y + 7 = -2x + 6

Next, subtract 7 on both sides of the equation, and your answer will be: y = -2x - 1

Next: y - 5 = 3(x - 2) (part a)

Firstly, foil 3(x - 2): y - 5 = 3x - 6

Next, add 5 on both sides, and your equation is: y = 3x - 1

Next, y - 5 = 3(x - 2) (part b)

Firstly, foil 3(x - 2): y - 5 = 3x - 6

Next, subtract y on both sides of the equations: -5 = 3x - y - 6

Next, add 6 on both sides of the equation, and your answer will be: 1 = 3x - y

Calculate the gradient of the line using rise/run method.

Lapatulllka [165]

Given:

The graph of line.

To find:

The gradient of the line using rise/run method.

Solution:

We know that the gradient of a line is also known as slope.

$Slope=\dfrac{Rise}{Run}$

Consider the two intercepts, then rise is distance between origin and y-intercept and run is the distance between origin and the x-intercept. But rise must be negative because the value of y decreased from 3 to 0.

$Rise=-3$

$Run=2$

Now,

$Slope=\dfrac{Rise}{Run}$

$Slope=\dfrac{-3}{2}$

The gradient of the line is $-\dfrac{3}{2}$ .

Therefore, the correct option is C.
