Answer:

12 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve this through a system of equations.

one number is a third of the other

1/3x = y

added together they equal sixteen

x + y = 16

substitute in for y

1/3x + x = 16

x = 12

put this in the original equation and

y = 4

Answer: 4 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the "another number"

Therefore, "one number" is 1/3x

1/3 x + x = 4/3 x

4/3 x = 16

1/3 x = 4

x = 12

Therefore, the numbers are 4 and 12.

What is the slope and y-intercept of line q graphed below?
beks73 [17]

The correct answer is C) 1/3 and (0, 1)

The y-intercept part is somewhat simple. In order for it to be a y-intercept, the x value of the ordered pair must be 0. That is only true in B and C, therefore they are the only possible answers.

To find the slope, we must choose two points on the line and use the slope formula. We can start by using the y-intercept (0, 1) and also (3, 2). Now we use the slope formula.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

In this equation m is equal to slope, the first point is (x1, y1) and the second point is (x2, y2)

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (2 - 1)/(3 - 0)

m = 1/3

Now knowing the slope, you can match this with answer C.

The first shape is 6 and 12. The two shapes are similar to each other, so the other shape must be 1 and 2. 6 divided by 6 is 1 so 12 divided by 6 is 2.
