Solve the problem: -4/9 -8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

When subtracting fractions with the same denominator (bottom number[s]) you can treat the numerators (top number[s]) like subtraction with whole numbers.

is equal to -12. Therefore, will equal . But we're not there yet - this fraction can be simplified. We need to find the GCF, or greatest common factor, of -12 and 9. This would be another number that can be divided evenly into these two numbers. The first possible GCF that comes to mind is 3. Let's test that out:

It works! Now we can use this information to simplify the fraction. We replace -12 with -4 and replace 9 with 3. This gives us our final answer, .

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is

translate k to n and reflect across the line containing jk.
