4/12 is less than 4/6
4/12 = 2/6
and 2/6 < 4/6
Hi!
We will solve this using ratios, like this:
1 shelf holds 45 pounds
x shelves hold 270 pounds
______________________
x = (270*1)/45
x = 270/45
x = 6
6 shelves will be needed to hold 270 pounds of boxes.
Hope this helps!
You can use the distance formula to find the distance between any two points ion the plane. In this case, look carefully at the coordinates:
R(-1, 7) and T(-7, 7), Notice they both have y-coordinate 7. That means they are both on the same horizontal line. To find their distance, just subtract -7 from -1 and take the absolute value.
|-1 - (-7)| = |-1 + 7| = |6| = 6
The distance is 6 units
Answer:
The constant of proportionality is thus 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the green line passes through (6, 6) and has a y-intercept of 0. Thus, the equation of the line is y = (6/6)x + 0, or y = x, or y = 1x.
The constant of proportionality is thus 1, which is also the slope of this line.
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b
So if you start with 9x - 7y = -7, the first thing you need to do is move the 9x to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides.
9x - 7y = -7
-9x -9x
Now you have -7y = -9x -7
For the equation to be in slope intercept form now you should divide every term by the number in front of your y. In this case divide every term by -7
-<u>7y</u> = <u>-9x</u> <u>-7</u>
-7 -7 -7
That leaves you with: y = 9x/7 + 1
