Answer 1

you are allowed to interact with us thru the reply box on the right side of the screen; the left side is really for questions, not replies

Answer 2

i am new, thank you

Answer 3

its a learning curve :)

Answer 4

so how do i write the (1/3,1/2)(1/6,1/2)

Answer 5

we can probably get the same slope if we multiply the points to clear the fractions, but ive never tried it

Answer 6

6 (1/3,1/2) = (2,3)

6(1/6,1/2) = (1,3) ; it appears to work :)

Answer 7

so the graghing points are (2,3)(1,3) rather than what i was doing(3,2)(6,2)

Answer 8

you need to multiply both points by the SAME value. thats important

Answer 9

why did you choose 6

Answer 10

(2,3) (1,3) have the same relative values as (1/3,1/2) (1/6,1/2)

Answer 11

i choose 6 becasause it was the quickest way to do it all in one step; but we can do it in smaller steps and have the same effect

Answer 12

(1/3 , 1/2) (1/6 , 1/2) ; multiply all by 3

(3/3 , 3/2) (3/6 , 3/2)

(1 , 3/2) (3/6 , 3/2) ; multiply all by 6

(1(6) , 3(6)/2) (3(6)/6 , 3(6)/2)

(6 , 18/2) (3 , 18/2) ; multiply it all by 2

(6(2) , 18(2)/2) (3(2) , 18(2)/2)

(12, 18) (6 ,18) are just as good as anything else

Answer 13

i choose 6 to begin with becasue I know 2,3,6 all have '6' in common and it would clear all the fractions at once

Answer 14

i appreciate that thought, thank you..
