Answer:
8
Divide both by 8
Which gives you
4/6
That can be simplest form by 2
2/3 is your final answer!
Y=mx+b where m=-6, x=-2, and y=-3. Substituting these values in would result in -3=(-6)(-2)+b, which would simplify to -3=12+b, and further to b=-15. This would mean the y intercept is equal to -15, or (0,-15). To check, (-6)*(-2)-15 is in fact equal to -3, thus allowing easy identification of a graph, which will cross the y axis at -15 and decrease in y-value by 6 with every increase in x-value.
Answer:
So, "Compare the following rational numbers," its asking which of them is greater, or if there equal to each other.
So for 3.25 and 3 1/2
3 1/2 is greater
3.25 < 3 1/2 (so it should look like this when the symbol on that side)
and for -4.5 and -4.05
-4.05 is greater.
-4.5 < -4.05 (so the symbol is also on that side.)
