Answer: Choice B) 7/2 and choice D) 2
These two slope values are positive. Positive slopes correspond to lines that move uphill as you move from left to right.
A negative slope moves in the opposite direction. A slope of zero refers to a flat horizontal line. A slope of undefined means we have a vertical line.
Look at deonomators
assuming that the deonomenators are 5x+15y and 2x+6y
find their LCM
factor
5x+15y=5(x+3y)
2x+6y=2(x+3y)
LCM=10(x+3y)=10x+30y
multiply 2/(5x+15y) by 2/2=4/(10x+30y)
multiply 1/(2x+6y) by 5/5=5/(10x+30y)
if we add them
9/(10x+30y)
12z^2 - 7z -12/ 3z^2 + 2z - 8
= (4z+3) (3z -4)/ (z+2)(3z -4)
= (4z + 3) / (x+2)
Hope this helps
