Answer:
-1 1/3 as a mixed number (if they ask for it in simplest form, choose this one)
-4/3 as an improper fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Keep, change, flip
4/5 x -5/3
2. Cross cancel the fives
4/1 x -1/3
3. Simplify
-4/3 or -1 1/3 (they're equivalent)
The x represents the ticket prices and the y represents the popcorn price. If we distribute the expression, we get 4x +2x + 2y. This shows us that all 6 people bought a ticket, and two bought popcorn. Now plug in the given values and solve.
6*7.25 + 2*3.25 = $50
A median intersects at the midpoint of the opposite length. The midpoint is:
x,m = (4+-2)/2 = 1
y,m = (-1+7)/2 = 3
The midpoint is at (1,3). With this point and point R(9,9), the equation would be:
y = mx + b, where
m = (9 - 3)/(9 - 1) = 0.75
b is the y-intercept
Substituting any point,
3 = 0.75(1)+b
b = 2.25
Thus, the equation for the median is:
y = 0.75x + 2.25
