This question needs more information. So what if a diagram shows an 8 foot ladder leaning against a wall?
Please enclose that -3/5 in parentheses: <span>y+1= (−3/5)(x−4)
</span>
Let's use the intercept method to graph this line.
First, set x = 0 and find y; this y will be the y-coordinate of the vertical intercept:
y+1= (−3/5)(0−4) => y = -1 + 12/5 = -5/5 + 12/5 = 7/5. Plot (0, 7/5).
Next, set y = 0 and find x; this will give us the coordinate of the horiz. int.:
0+1= (−3/5)(x−4) => -5/3 = x - 4, or x = 4- 5/3, or x = 7/3. Plot (7/3, 0).
Now draw a straight line thru these two points.
The ratio of Isabella’s money to Shane’s money is 3:11
Isabella has $33.
We can make a proportion to solve for how much money Shane has.
A proportion is two ratios that are set equal to each other.
Let’s call Shane’s money ‘S’
We get this proportion: 3/11 = 33/x
If we cross multiply we get:
(33) * (11) = (3) * (x)
Simplifying it, we get:
363 = (3) * (x)
Divide both sides by 3, we get:
x = 121
However, the question asks how much money they have together.
Isabella + Shane = Total
33 + 121 = $154
<span>They have $154 together.</span>
