Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the table :
(-3,8.5) .....x1 = -3 and y1 = 8.5
(-1,5.5) ....x2 = -1 and y2 = 5.5
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (5.5 - 8.5) / (-1 - (-3) = - 3 / (-1 + 3) = -3/2
coordinate plane :
(-3,0), (2,0)
notice how u have the same y values of 0....this means u have a horizontal line where no matter what x is, y will always be 0. A horizontal line has a slope of 0. And ur y intercept is (0,0)
the linear function that is in the table contains a negative slope and also has a steeper slope then the one on the coordinate plane <===
Before adding dissimilar fractions (fractions with different denominator), you have to make the fractions similar first. To make the fractions similar, find the Least Common Multiple of the denominator. In this case, the LCM is 10. Then rewrite the fractions using the LCM as the denominator.
9/10 = 9/10; 4/5 = 8/10
You can now proceed with addition -
9/10 + 8/10 = 17/10 or 1 7/10
The answers would be 49,51,and53!
