Which expression is equivalent to the following complex fraction?

jekas [21]

Answer: last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

- Subtract the fractions that are in the numerator.

- Add the fractions that are in the denominator.

Then:

$\frac{\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{y}}{\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}}=\frac{\frac{y-x}{xy}}{\frac{y+x}{xy}}$

- Multiply the numerator of the fraction on the top by the denomianator of the fraction on the bottom.

- Simplify.

Then:

$=\frac{(y-x)(xy)}{(y+x)(xy)}=\frac{(y-x)}{(y+x)}$

What is the equation that represents the line that passes through the point (2,6) and has a slope of -5?

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

y = - 5x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 5, thus

y = - 5x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

To find c substitute (2, 6) into the partial equation

6 = - 10 + c ⇒ c = 6 + 10 = 16

y = - 5x + 16 ← equation of line
