Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's convert the decimals to fraction form.

0.5=5/10=1/2

-1/7

-0.2= -2/10= -1/5

1/3

We know that the bigger the number in the denominator, the smaller the fraction is if the numerators are all the same.

First off, we have the negative numbers which are smaller than the other numbers. We have -1/7 and -1/5. We know that the 1/5 is a bigger fraction, but it is negatively bigger, so that is going to be the lesser number.

-1/5, -1/7

And with our bigger ones, we have 1/3 and 1/2. 1/2 is the bigger number here, so that will be the last one. Let's also be sure to convert back to our original forms! Here is our order :

-0.2, -1/7, 1/3, 0.5

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

Write a parallel and perpendicular equation that passes through the point (6,-2)?
Reptile [31]

Answer:

y=x-8 and y=-x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of the lines can be anything, as long as they are the opposite reciprocals of each other. Then you can plug in the point for x and y to solve for b in both lines (for y=mx+b where m is the slope)

The slope of the line passing through the points (0, 0) and (2, 3) is
MArishka [77]
You can use the equation to find the slope of a line given two points. This equation is y2 - y1 divided by x2 minus x1. The y2 is represented by the y coordinate of the second ordered pair, but it really doesn't matter, either way you get the same answer. The same way the x2 is represented by the x coordinate of the second ordered pair. For this problem, I will just use the normal coordinates. So the second y coordinate is 3. 3 -0 = 3. So your numerator is 3. The second x coordinate is 2. 2-0 = 2. So the denominator is 2. This is 3/2. So your slope would be 3/2. Hope this helps. :D Let me know if you didn't understand something in my explanation.
