Oxana [17]2 years ago

4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers are 4x and 7x. According to the question if each number is increased by 20, the ratio becomes 7 : 9.

Then,

( 4x + 20 ) : ( 7x + 20 ) = 7 : 9

9( 4x + 20 ) = 7( 7x + 20 )

9( 4x ) + 9( 20 ) = 7( 7x ) + 7( 20 )

9( 20 ) - 7( 20 ) = 7( 7x ) - 9( 4x )

2( 20 ) = 49x - 36x

40 = 13 x

40 / 13 = x

Therefore, number are :–

4 x = 4( 40 / 13 ) = 160 / 13

7 x = 7( 40 / 13 ) = 280 / 13

I need it rnnn pleaseee

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (8, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 6)

m = $\frac{6+3}{2-8}$ = $\frac{9}{-6}$ = - $\frac{3}{2}$

------------------------------------------

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

y = 5 - 2x , that is

y = - 2x + 5 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2
