Answer:

Y=-2x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to know the formula which is Y÷x

Then... The line (1,7)use the coordinates Y and X so it will be as follows... Label 1 and 7 as x, y

So it will be Y-7÷X-1 = the gradient which is - 2

So multiply both sides by X-1

So it will be Y-7=2x+2 again be careful because a negative number multiplied by another negative will give you a positive sign

Remember Y-7....... Take 7 to the other side so it will be a positive...... Then work out the integers

Lilian says that 25% of a number will always be less than 75% of any other number. Complete one inequality to support Lillian's

rjkz [21]

She is incorrect cause if we take the number 20 and take 25% of it it equals 5 so now 20 is only 15. They if we take 75% away from 20 is equals 15 so then we only have 5 from 20 left. Therefore she’s incorrect because 75% leaves 5/20 and 25% leaves 15/20. Hope that makes sense.
