11.5 because all you do is divide the numbers by 2

Answer:

11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x=8 & y=23

then

x=4 is half so you divide by 2

so half of 23 would be 11.5. If you are rounding then it would be 12

Find the slope first
slope=(2-1)/(-1+3)=1/4=.25

now use the slope and either point to write in point slope form
y-1=.25(x-2)
y-1=¼x-½

to rationalize all the denominators multiply by the last common multiple, here we get 4
4y-4=x-2

then put in the correct order

x-4y=-2

Hi!

We can set up a proportion then cross multiply to solve this.

$\frac{45}{x} \frac{18}{100}$

45 x 100 = 4500
4500/18 = 250

The answer is 250

Hope this helps! :)
