I really need help on this, how do you get 20 as a denominator and 19 as a numerator in the end answer? Pls help

Answer:

ADD them

Step-by-step explanation:

11 1/5+ 5 1/4 is 19/20

If you were subtracting the fractions your answer would be different (look at attachment)

Answer:

To find the difference of the weights, you must subtract the smaller number from the bigger number.

First, we want to convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions

5 1/4 = 20/4 + 1/4 = 21/4

11 1/5 = 55/5 + 1/5 = 56/5

Now, we make the denominator for both to be equal to 20, and subtract to get the answer: 119/20, or about 5.95 pounds.

Let me know if this helps!

Compare the line passing through the points (−3, −11) and (6, 4) to the line given by the equation y=35x−6.

Aleks04 [339]

Let
A------> (−3, −11)
B------> (6, 4)

step 1
find the slope m point A and point B
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)-----> m=(4+11)/(6+3)----> m=15/9---> 5/3

step 2
with m=5/3 and point B (6, 4) find the equation of a line
y-y1=m*(x-x1)-----> y-4=(5/3)*(x-6)---> y=(5/3)x-6

case a. they have the same slope------> is not correct
because
y=35x−6------> the slope m=35
y=(5/3)x-6---> the slope m =5/3

case b. they have the same x-intercept.----> is not correct
because
the x-intercept is for y=0

y=35x−6-----> 0=35x-6----> 35x=6-----> x=6/35
the x-intercept is the point (6/35,0)

y=(5/3)x-6----> 0=(5/3)x-6----> (5/3)x=6---> x=18/5
the x-intercept is the point (18/5,0)

case c. the two lines are perpendicular. do. they have the same y-intercept-----> is nor correct
because

if two lines are perpendicular
m1*m2=-1-------> this condition is not satisfied

the y intercept is for x=0

y=35x−6-------> y=-6
the y intercept is the point (0,-6)

y=(5/3)x-6-----> y=-6
the y intercept is the point (0,-6)

they have the same y-intercept but the two lines are not perpendicular
