If you write .6 and .7 as fractions you get 6/10 and 7/10. If you double those you get 12/20 and 14/20, so one potential fraction between the two could be 13/20.
Say you have 3 cakes. How many cakes would you have eaten if you ate 1/3 of the three cakes? One, you have eaten one cake, out of the three you have.
How many cakes do you have left if you eat 2/3 of the three cakes? Two, you have eaten 2 cakes, and have 1 cake left.
It is a similar approach here, except the confusing part is working "forward", when you really have to work "backward". If you have driven 30 miles, and you have driven 2 parts out of the trip when there is 3 parts of the trip, how many miles have you driven? Hint: Dividing 30 by 2 gives you what fraction of the distance to Jeff's grandmother?
For this case we must find the value of "x", by trigonometric relations.
The tangent of an angle is given by the leg opposite the angle on the leg adjacent to the same angle.
Rounding:
Answer:
21.4
Multiply both sides by -8 to get k = -16
To check the solution, plug in -16 into the original equation. You do in-fact get 2
Y - y1 = m(x - x1).....this is point slope form
slope(m) = -1
(2,4)...x1 = 2 and y1 = 4
now we sub
y - 4 = -1(x - 2) <===
