The answer to the question is in the picture.
Ypu would subtract Y from the other points Y
Then you would subtract X from the ither points X.
Then you would put the Y value over the X
Then simiplify
2+2 = 4. Bro it was so hard. Did i helped you?
You would just plug the values into the slope-intercept formula which is y=mx+b. m is representative of the slope, and b is representative of the y-intercept. The equation would be y=-9x+5
So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.
2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!
We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.
Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!
2 x 28 = 56.
So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.
The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.
Hope this helps!
