@nikato please

Answer 6

move it to the origin to help measure it ...., then divide it into the requisite parts

Answer 7

i got 7

Answer 8

C (3, 4) and D (11, 3)
-3 -4 -3 -4
-------------------
0 0 8 -1

now, we see that the x parts are from 0 to 8, to it is 8 units long. a ratio of 3:5 IS 8 parts, 3 to the left and 5 to the right

let Ex = 3, and move it back into place

3, y
+3 +4
-------
6, y+4 is what E would look like given whatever the y part wants to be

Answer 9

oh so its 6?
okay thanks

Answer 10

Write an equation of a line parallel to y = 1 over 4x − 6 in slope-intercept form that passes through the point (−1, 5).

y= 1 over 4x − 1

y= 1 over 4x + 5.25

y= −4x + 5

y= −4x − 1.25
