If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up (+1).
If the number you are rounding is followed by 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, round the number down (no change).
Answer:
1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
pick any points, for example (6, -1) and (11, 0)
slope is m= (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = -1-0 / 6-11 = -1 / -5 = 1/5
The best thing to do is either to find a common denominator or convert them to decimals.
I will find a common denominator.
A common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15.
You multiply the first fraction by 5
2*5= 10
This then becomes 10/15
You then multiply the second by 3.
4*3= 12
Therefore, this becomes 12/15
As the second of these fractions is larger, this means that 4/5 is larger.
The alternative method is to put them into decimals, in which case 2/3= 0.66 and 4/5= 0.8
Hope this helps :)
