The ratio of dogs to cats is 2 to 3. There are 15 pets total. How many dogs are there? How many cats are there?

1 answer:

6 0

So there are 2 dogs to every 3 cats (put into words)

in order to reach 15 total multiply both 2 and 3 by 3

2x3 = 6
3x3 = 9

so there are 6 dogs and 9 cats

Coordinate Planes

Coordinates (x, y)
Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note:

Rate of change is slope.

Step 1: Define

Identify.

Point (-1, -1)

Point (1, -1)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m.

Substitute in points [Slope Formula]: $\displaystyle m = \frac{-1 + 1}{1 + 1}$
[Order of Operations] Simplify: $\displaystyle m = \frac{0}{2}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle m = 0$

Find the slope of the line through each pair

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:A) -4/3 B) 1/2 C) -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

For A) let (x1, y1) = (8, -7), (x2, y2) = (5, -3)

Slope = (-3 -(-7)) / (5 - 8) = 4/-3

For B) let (x1, y1) = (-5, 9), (x2, y2) = (5, 11)

Slope = (11 - 9) / (5 - (-5)) = 2/10 = 1/2

For C) let (x1, y1) = (-8, -4), (x2, y2) = (-4, -9)

Slope = (-9 -(-4)) / (-4 - (-8)) = -5/4
