Answer:

4/6 is more than 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set the denominators of the fractions equal to eachother to make it easier to compare. mulitiply 6 and 4 by 2 so that the denominator now equals 12, and you have the new fractions 5/12 and 8/12. Since 8/12 is more than 5/12, 4/6 is more than 5/12.

To find the answer of this problem, we need to distibute and multiply all of the numbers with each other.

2x * x + 2x * 1 + 9 * x + 9 * 1
= 2x^2 + 2x + 9x + 9
= 2x^2 + 11x + 9

The answer would be the first option.

Hope this helps!

Consider the line 7x+9y=5

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The slope of a line parallel to this line will be: -7/9

The slope of the perpendicular line will be:

$\frac{-1}{\frac{-7}{9}}=\frac{9}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the slope-intercept form

$y=mx+b$

Here,

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Given the equation

$7x+9y=5$

simplifying to write in the lope-intercept form

$y=-\frac{7}{9}x+\frac{5}{9}$

Thus, the slope of the line is: -7/9

The slope of a line parallel to the line:

We have already determined that the slope of the line is: -7/9

We know that the parallel lines have the same slope.

Thus, the slope of a line parallel to this line will be: -7/9

The slope of a line perpendicular to the line:

We have already determined that the slope of the line is: -7/9

As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line.

Thus, the slope of the perpendicular line will be:

$\frac{-1}{\frac{-7}{9}}=\frac{9}{7}$

There are 3 feet in a yard. How many yards, as a mixed number, will you drive until you reach this exit?

Ratling [72]

The number of yards, as a mixed number, will you drive until you reach this exit is 333 1/3 yards

<h3>How to determine the number of yards to drive?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment

From the attached figure, we have:

Exit = 1000 feet

From the question, we have

3 feet = 1 yard

So, the number of yards is

Number of yard =Exit/3 yards

This gives

Number of yard = 1000/3 yards

Evaluate the quotient

Number of yard = 333 1/3 yards

Hence, the number of yards, as a mixed number, will you drive until you reach this exit is 333 1/3 yards

Please help problems below!!

kap26 [50]

Answer:

9. B 10. C 11. A 12. C

Step-by-step explanation:

Greater rate of change simply means slope! Which ever of the functions has the greatest slope (positive or negative)

a. The graph shows the line going up by 4, and across by 3, or, a slope of 4/3

b. the table is increasing by 10, so, 10/1

c. -6 = -6/1, out of all of these, we divide by the denominators and determine which number is the greatest, ignoring whether or not the value is positive or negative

a. 4/3 = 1.333333

b. 10/1 = 10

c. -6/1 = -6 (remember, ignore the sign)

In this case, B is the greatest number, therefore, it has the greatest rate of change

10.

a. -3 / 3 = -1 (ignore the negative!)

b. 2/1 = 2

c. 4/1 = 4

In this case, C, is the greatest number, meaning its rate of change is highest

11.

a. -1/3 = -0.333333 (ignore the yk what!)

b. 0.25/1 = 0.25

c. -1/5 = -0.20 (you already know)

In this case, a, is the greatest number, meaning, its rate of change is the highest

12.

a. 0/1 = 0

b. 0.5/1 = 0.5

c. 2/1 = 2

In this case, c, is the greatest number, meaning, its rate of change is the highest.
