Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Given that the numerator of a given fraction is 4 less than its denominator.

Also given that 3 is subtracted from the numerator and 5 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes one by fourth .

Let the fraction be  

Since the numerator of a given fraction is 4 less than its denominator we have,

Numerator=Denominator-4

⇒ a=b-4

Since 3 is subtracted from the numerator and 5 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes one by fourth we have

4(a-3)=1(b+5)

4a-12=b+5

4a-b=17

4(b-4)-b=17   ( ∵ a=b-4)

4b-16-b=17

3b=17+16

3b=33

⇒ b=11

Now put b=11 in a=b-4 we get

a=11-4

⇒  the fraction is a/b=7/11

Answer:

Slope is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula. Say S = the 1st point and T = the 2nd point.

m = 20 - 10                    10                 1

     ------------      =      -----------    =      ---

      20 - 0                     20                2

The equation for slope is also y = mx + b

m is the slope, b is the y-intercept.

Therefore, if you look at the 1st choice, you can see that 1/2 is in the place of m, meaning that 1/2 is the slope of line ST

I dunno how to do the other way
