If two fractions have the same denominator, that means the total number of parts is the same.  For example, you have two batches of cookies, which each have 8 cookies.

But the numerator tells you the number of parts you are dealing with.  Going back to our cookie example, say you ate 3 cookies and your little brother only had 1.  If you ate 3 cookies, you ate 3/8 of the cookies.  Your little brother ate 1/8 of the cookies.

So, which one is the greatest fraction?  In this case, who had more cookies?  That would be you.  So, the greater numerator means a greater fraction.

Answer: the fraction with the greater numerator

Rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form, if necessary. Then determine whether the lines are parallel. Explain,
Oksana_A [137]
Answer:
d

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

y = -x + 7
x + y = 21

x + y = 21
-x -x
y = -x + 21


y = -x + 7
y = -x + 21

Parallel lines have the same slope. Here, our slope is -1

Therefore, our final answer is d.


Hope this helps!

How would I solve this?
trasher [3.6K]

You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.

Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.

Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.

5² + b² = (2√2)²

25 + b² = 2²(√2)²

25 + b² = 4(2)

25 + b² = 8

b² = 8 - 25

b² = - 17

b = √-17

b= (√17i)

Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
