Scenario: A kid initially has 7.6 dollars and is given 0.2 dollars every weekend. The slope here is the 0.2. This is the value or increment in which the money is increasing. The y-intercept is the value we obtain from the equation when we set x to zero. Similarly speaking, this is the original value which is 7.6.
If you're trying to figure out what x is equal to, it's 3/2, or -1/2
We want to find how many ¹/₃ can be made out of ³/₄
The mathematical sum is ³/₄ ÷ ¹/₃
The method for dividing fractions is to flip the second fraction then multiply the two fraction
³/₄ × ³/₁ = ⁹/₄ = 2 ¹/₄ cuts
The greatest number can be cut are 2 pieces with 0.25 meter left over
