Answer:

<em>I misunderstood the question before, but here are two expressions equivalent to -4/7 - 8/9 + 4/7 - 9/8. </em>

71/72 + 70/72 +4/72

-1/7 - 3/7 - 5/9 - 3/9 + 2/7 +2/7 - 4/8 - 5/8

<em>Solved: -2 1/72</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

I could simply take the answer you get when combining all of the fractions, and I can make a new expression out of it. For example, I could use: 71/72+ 70/72+4/72. Or I could break apart all of the original fractions into smaller fractions. Example: -1/7 - 3/7 - 5/9 - 3/9 + 2/7 +2/7 - 4/8 - 5/8.

<em>To solve: Start by combining -4/7 and 4/7 to make 0, shortening your equation. Then continue by making the fractions remaining, 8/9 and -9/8, have a common denominator. To do this, we multiply -8/9 by 8, and -9/8 by 9. Then, we have -64/72 and -81/72. Then, we can combine the numerators of the fractions, as they have common denominators, and we get the fraction -145/72. We can then simplify this to -2 1/72.</em>

<em>Hope this helps!</em>

What is the slope of the line that passes through (8,5), (-7,20)?
Kaylis [27]
-1, because the equation for the slope is y2-y1/x2-x1. So let's bring the y value in the second set of point, which is 20, and bring the first y value in the first set of points, which is 5. 20-5 is 15. Now let's subtract the x values. So the second x from the second parentheses x value is -7, and the first x value from the first parentheses is 8. -7-8 is -15. Now we have this division equation, 15/-15, which is -1. So therefore, the slope of the line will be -1.
