The two ratios are identical. 10/24 reduces to 5/12 (just divide both 10 and 24 by 2 to see this).
Where is the rectangle, I will help you when you show me the rectangle because I need the rectangle
You first subtract 1/2 and 1, which gets you -0.5.
then you are left with -0.5=8x
you divide 8 on both sides. which will now give you: x = -.0625
and -0.0625 is your answer :)
In y = mx + b form, the slope is represented by m and the y intercept is represented by b
y = mx + b
y = -7x + 2
