Solution: Alyssa is incorrect.
In fact .
If we cross-multiply the above equation, we have:
Therefore, they are equal.
Also, if we reduce the given fractions, we have:
And
Since both the fractions reduced to , therefore fractions are equivalent.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the slope through two points.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (4 - -5)/(4 - -8)
m = 9/12 = 3/4
The slope of the line is 3/4.
Slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
y = 3/4x + b
A point on the line is (4, 4). x = 4 and y =4.
4 = 3/4(4) + b
4 = 3 + b
b = 1
The y-intercept is 1.
