Answer: Sometimes

Explanation:

Quotient greater than 1:

3/4 divide by 2/3
= 3/4 x 3/2 = 9/8 > 1

4/5 divide by 2/5
= 4/5 x 5/2 = 2 > 1

Quotient less than 1

1/100 divide by 2/10
= 1/100 x 10/2 = 1/20 < 1

1/50 divide by 1/25
= 1/50 x 25/1 = 1/2 < 1

Find the equation of the line shown

liraira [26]

The equation of line passing through points (4.5. 0) and (0, 9) is y = -2x + 9.

<h3>What is the equation of a line passing through two given points in a 2-dimensional plane?</h3>

Suppose the given points are (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2), then the equation of the straight line joining both two points is given by

$(y - y_1) = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} (x -x_1)$

The graph of the picture shows two clear points (4.5. 0) and (0, 9)

$(y - 0) = \dfrac{9 - 0}{0 - 4.5} (x -4.5)\\\\\\(y - 0) = \dfrac{9 }{- 4.5} (x -4.5)\\\\\\-4.5y = 9(x -4.5)\\\\-4.5y = 9x - 40.5\\\\y = -2x + 9$

Hence, the equation of line passing through points (4.5. 0) and (0, 9) is y = -2x + 9.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME ! Jerry wants to buy his grandpa's old car for $500.00. He works 10 hours a week

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Needs $500 Makes 7.50 and works 10 hours week.

7.50*10= $75.00 a week

500/75= 6.6 weeks or 6 weeks and 2/3 of a week. I'd round to 7 weeks.

75(x)=500 X= weeks needed.

75x=500 if you divide 500 by 75

x=20/3 or 6.6
