Answer:
Jewelry box: 1/6 yard
Step-by-step explanation:
4/5 (not 4\5) of her 5/6 yard goes into a dress: (4/5)(5/6 yd) = 2/3 yard.
This is the same as 4/6 yard. The amount of lace remaining, to be used on a jewelry box, is 5/6 - 4/6, or 1/6 yard.
Answer:
(0, 8/3) = y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
I chose to find the y-intercept since it is easy to find with the given information.
The equation for a line is y = mx + b
To find the y-intercept, we must plug in the info we have and solve for b:
4 = -1/3 (-4) + b
4 = -4/3 + b
8/3 = b
To find a point on the line, you also could have added -1 to 4 and 3 to -4 since slope means rise/run or change in y/change in x:
(y - 1) / (x + 3) = (4 - 1) / (-4 + 3) = (3, -1) (flip since it's the y and x coordinate) = (-1, 3)
