Answer:
B. -19/25
Step-by-step explanation:
You are looking for an answer that is greater than -4/5 (which is equal to -0.80) but less than -3/4 (which is equal to -0.75). So, you can easily convert the fractions to decimals by dividing.
-33/50 = -0.66, which is greater than -0.75, so it can be eliminated.
-19/25 = -0.76, which fits our parameters, so it is the answer.
-19/20 = -0.95, which is less than -0.80, so it can be eliminated.
-7/10 = -0.70, which is greater than -0.75, so it can be eliminated.
Answer:
Examination of the equation shows (graph):
x = 0, y = .5
Then .5 = c gives us the value of c giving
y = m x + .5 is our equation
Using y = 0, x = -1 gives
o = -1 * m + .5
m = .5
y = .5 x + .5 for the final equation
Check:
At x = 5, y = 3
3 = .5 (5) + .5 = 3
Answer:
the slope is 1/2
Work:
if the x-coordinate is two times the y-coordinate, that means you are going up one over two each time
slope= y2-y1/x2-x1
so you can pick two points, like (2, 1) and (4,2) and use the formula
slope= 2-1/4-2= 1/2
The only correct statement is that ratios are not fractions.
