24.8 is the correct answer
Explanation: bc it is
The slope of the line l is the opposite reciprocal of y+2x=9. Rearranged the equation to y=9-2x and we get a slope of -2. The opposite reciprocal of -2 is 1/2.
y-y=m(x-x)
y-3=.5(x-4)
y=.5x+1
At the x-intercept, y=0, so
0=.5x+1
-1=.5x
x=-2
1/2 and 10/20
to get 1/2 you have to divide 5/10 by 5:
5 / 5 1
----- = -----
10 / 5 2
to get 10/20 you have to multiply 5/10 by 2:
5 * 2 10
----- = ----
10 * 2 20
