Answer:
A. 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
m = rise/run
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-5- - 4)/(1-9)
m = (-5+4)/(-8)
m = (-1)/(-8)
m = 1/8
So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.
2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!
We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.
Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!
2 x 28 = 56.
So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.
The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.
Hope this helps!

solve for y
2x−4y=10
-2x -2x subtract -2x from both sides
-4y = -2x +10
-4 -4 Divide both sides by -4 (coefficient on y)
y = -2/-4x + 10/-4
y = 1/2x - 5/2
the slope is the number on the x (coefficient)
and its 1/2
Answer:
Now, add these two equations.
You get,
Given,
You can test this to the other equation as well.
Hence, the two numbers are 14 and 10.
Answer:
8 : 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given ratio of sides = a : b, then
ratio of area = a² : b²
ratio of volumes = a³ : b³
Given
ratio of areas = 384 : 96 = 4 : 1 ← in simplest form, then
ratio of sides = 
: 
= 2 : 1
Hence
ratio of volumes = 2³ : 1³ = 8 : 1
