No, because negative base sometimes results in non-real or imaginary value.
Since the ratio is 3:4, and 12/4 is 3 than you do 3x3 and get 9 so the answer is 9:12 or 9 boys and 12 girls. To check your answer, you can do 3/4 (for 3:4) and that is 0.75. If you do that with 9:12 you also get 0.75.
Yes 8*6=48 and 4*6+4*6=48
Answer:
Before we graph 
we know that the slope, mx, could be read as 
. To graph the the equation of the line, we begin at the point (0,0). From that point, because our rise is negative (-1), instead of moving upwards or vertically, we will move downards. Therefore, from point 0, we will vertically move downwards one time. Now, our point is on point -1 on the y-axis. Now, we have 2 as our run. From point -1, we move to the right two times. We land on point (2,-1). Because we need various points to graph this equation, we must continue on. In the end, the graph will look like the first graph given.
For the equation y = 2, the line will be plainly horizontal. Why? Because x has no value in the equation. The variable 
does not exist in this linear equation. Therefore, it will look like the second graph below. We graph this by plotting the point, (0,2), on the y-axis.
