Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
An Improper Fraction has a top number larger than (or equal to) the bottom number.
To convert a whole number -12 into an improper fraction we can divide the whole number by one to turn it into a temporary fraction.

Also we could multiply and divide -12 by another number greater than one, for example:

There are several ways we can write -12 in the improper fraction form.
Answer:

Below is the procedure that was used to find the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "e" the weight in pounds of the elephant and "c" the weight in pounds of the cat.
According to the information provided in the exercise, we know that The weight of an elephant is
times the weight of a cat. Based on this we can write the following equation:

If the weight in pounds of the elephant is:

We must substitute this value into the equation and then solve for "c" in order to find the weight in pounds of the cat.
Then we get:

Y - 9 = 15x - 75
y = 15x - 75 + 9
y = 15x - 66 y = mx + c, slope = m
m = slope = 15
