QUESTION : $\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{24}{a}$ . What I would do is divide 24 by 3, and once you do that, your answer is 8. So that leads you to the conclusion that 8 is multiplied by 3 to get 24. Move down to the 5 and the a. If the numerator of the first fraction is multiplied by 8 to get the numerator of the second fraction, then you can sure as heck believe that the same applies to both denominators.

So I would say you multiply 5 with 8. 5 × 8 is 40, and so a = 40.

Write the equation of the line graphed below in Point-Slope form. Use the point labeled on the graph. State the slope and point.

Given:

The graph of a line.

To find:

The point-slope form of the given line.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the line passes through the point (1,5) and (0,-1). So, the slope of the line is:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\dfrac{-1-5}{0-1}$

$m=\dfrac{-6}{-1}$

$m=6$

The slope of the line is 6 and it passes through the point (1,5). So, the point slope form of the line is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y-5=6(x-1)$

Therefore, the point-slope form is $y-5=6(x-1)$ , slope is 6 and the point is (1,5).

Answer:

4×⁴+3×³+7×²-3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

First remove the parentheses and pair up like terms

4×⁴+3×³+2×²+5×²-x-2x+1+3

Then combine the like terms

4×⁴+3×³+7×²-3x+4

Which is the answer.

A what is an equation stating that two ratios or rates are equal

frozen [14]

The equation is
(A ≠ B)
A is the first number, ratio, rate, etc. , and B is the second.
The ≠ symbol means "does not equal", so the equation means:
[ Ratio A is NOT equal to Ratio B. ]
