The ratio of two numbers is 7 to 5. the sum of the numbers is 24. what are the numbers?

12 and 12

14 and 10

21 and 15

18 and 6

14 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

14 to 10 - Simplify

/2          /2

7 to 5 - getting the ratio

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
