Answer:

2:3:5

Step-by-step explanation:

24:36:60

<u>1) Find the greatest common factor</u>

24 ⇒ 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

36 ⇒ 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

60 ⇒ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60

Therefore, the greatest common factor is 12.

<u>2) Divide all values by 12</u>

24 ÷ 12 = 2

36 ÷ 12 = 3

60 ÷ 12 = 5

Therefore, the simplified form of the ratio is 2:3:5.

I hope this helps!

Write the equation in standard form of a line that is parallel to the graph of 2x + y = 5 and whose y - intercept is (0,4).

babunello [35]

The line that is parallel to this line will have the same slope of this line, as the two will never intersect. They will run side by side. The line y = 2x - 5 is written in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b. The value of m represents the slope, and in this equation m = 2. Therefore, the line we are looking for will have a slope of 2 also.

That line should also be in slope-intercept form. We now know the value of m, but we also know the value of x and y. The ordered pair (8, 10) is a point on the line, and every ordered pair is in the form (x, y). Therefore, x = 8 and y = 10. We can plug those values into y = mx + b, along with m = 2. That gives us:

10 = 2(8) + b We need to solve for b.

10 = 16 + b

b = -6

How do you get the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form?

Answer:

y= -2/5 x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

So the equation is y=mx+b. Where m=slope and b=y-intercept. To find b, you would see at what point does the line cross the y axis. That would be at -4 so, -4 would be the b or y-intercept. To find m, you would take two points on the line and use this equation:

m=(y2 - y1 )/(x2 - x1)

If you were using the points, (-10,0) and (0, -4) the equation would be:

m=(-4-0) / (0+10)

So, m= -2/5

The equation of the line would end up being:

y= -2/5 x -4
