12/9 = 4/x
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
12x = 9 * 4
12x = 36
Now, we can divide both sides by 12 to solve for x:
x = 36/12
Simplifying, x = 3
Therefore, the equivalent ratio is 4 : 3.
First, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:
4y/4 = 48x/4
y = 12x
Now we can see that the ratio of inches to feet is 12 inches to 1 foot, or 12 : 1.

Derive the equation of the line y = mx through the origin.
The slope of a line can be calculated using the formula:
m = (change in y) / (change in x)
Let's calculate the change in y and change in x using the given points (10, 2) and (5, 1):
Change in y = 1 - 2 = -1
Change in x = 5 - 10 = -5
Now, we can calculate the slope:
m = (-1) / (-5)
When dividing a negative number by a negative number, the negatives cancel out:
m = 1/5
Therefore, the equation of the line y = mx through the origin is y = (1/5)x.

Let's choose a few values for x and calculate y:
For x = 0, y = 2(0) = 0. This gives us the point (0, 0).
For x = 1, y = 2(1) = 2. This gives us the point (1, 2).
For x = 2, y = 2(2) = 4. This gives us the point (2, 4).
Plotting these points on the graph, we can see that they lie on a straight line.
Therefore, the correct option is B.

The proportional relationship between calories and ounces of soda is shown in the graph. How many calories are in 1 ounce?
There are __ calories in 1 ounce of soda.
From the given points, we can see that for every 36 ounces of soda, there are 3 calories.
So, for 1 ounce of soda, we can set up a proportion:
36 ounces / 3 calories = 1 ounce / y calories
To solve for y, we can cross-multiply:
36y = 3 * 1
36y = 3
Now, we can divide both sides by 36 to solve for y:
y = 3/36
Simplifying, y = 1/12
Therefore, there are 1/12 or 0.083 (rounded to three decimal places) calories in 1 ounce of soda.

The earnings for Employee 1 and Employee 2 are displayed in the following graphs. Which employee earns more per hour?
Employee __ earns more per hour.
For Employee 1:
Rate of earnings = (Change in earnings) / (Change in hours worked)
Between (0, 0) and (50, 4):
Change in earnings = 4 - 0 = 4
Change in hours worked = 50 - 0 = 50
Rate of earnings for Employee 1 = 4 / 50 = 0.08
For Employee 2:
Rate of earnings = (Change in earnings) / (Change in hours worked)
Between (0, 0) and (45, 3):
Change in earnings = 3 - 0 = 3
Change in hours worked = 45 - 0 = 45
Rate of earnings for Employee 2 = 3 / 45 ≈ 0.067
Comparing the rates of earnings, we can see that Employee 1 has a higher rate of earnings at 0.08 per hour, compared to Employee 2 at 0.067 per hour.
Therefore, Employee 1 earns more per hour.

Use similar triangles to determine the slope of the line.
The slope is __
Let's take two consecutive points, (3, 9) and (2, 6), on the line:
The change in y is 6 - 9 = -3.
The change in x is 2 - 3 = -1.
Next, let's take two consecutive points, (2, 6) and (1, 3):
The change in y is 3 - 6 = -3.
The change in x is 1 - 2 = -1.
We can see that the ratios of the changes in y to the changes in x are the same for both pairs of points, indicating that the line is a straight line and has a constant slope.
So, the slope of the line can be determined by taking any pair of consecutive points and finding the ratio of the change in y to the change in x.
For the points (3, 9) and (2, 6):
Slope = (change in y) / (change in x) = (-3) / (-1) = 3
Therefore, the slope of the line is 3.
The slope of the line y = -3x - 2 is -3. Since parallel lines have the same slope, the line we want to find will also have a slope of -3.
To determine the y-intercept, we can choose any point that lies on the line but is not shared with y = -3x - 2. Let's choose the point (0, 5) as an example.
Using the point-slope form of a linear equation, we can write the equation of the line that is parallel to y = -3x - 2 and passes through the point (0, 5) as:
y - 5 = -3(x - 0)
Simplifying:
y - 5 = -3x
y = -3x + 5
Therefore, the equation of the line that is parallel to y = -3x - 2 but does not share any points is y = -3x + 5.
To write the equation of a line that is parallel to y = -3x - 2 but does not share any points, we can keep the same slope but choose a different y-intercept.
The slope of the line y = -3x - 2 is -3. Since parallel lines have the same slope, our parallel line will also have a slope of -3.
To ensure that the line does not share any points, we can choose any point not on the line y = -3x - 2. Let's choose the point (0,1) as an example.
Using the point-slope form of a linear equation, the equation of the parallel line can be written as:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Substituting the values of the point (0,1) and the slope -3, we get:
y - 1 = -3(x - 0)
Simplifying:
y - 1 = -3x
y = -3x + 1
Therefore, the equation of a line that is parallel to y = -3x - 2 but does not share any points is y = -3x + 1.
A. y = -3x - 2
B. y = - 3x + 8
C. y = 3x - 2
D. y = 3x + 8
The given equation y = -3x - 2 is in the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope (-3) and b is the y-intercept (-2).
Since we want to keep the same slope, the equation of the line parallel to y = -3x - 2 will also have a slope of -3.
To determine the y-intercept of the new line, we can choose any value for the y-intercept as long as it is different from -2.
Option B, y = -3x + 8, has the same slope (-3), but a different y-intercept (8) compared to the given equation.
Therefore, the equation of a line that is parallel to y = -3x - 2 but does not share any points is y = -3x + 8.

The cost of Candy Bar 1 is displayed in the table. The proportional relationship between the cost and quantity for Candy Bar 2 is represented by the equation y = x. Which candy bar is the cheapest cost per bar? Enter 1 for Candy Bar 1. Enter 2 for Candy Bar 2.
In the table provided, we can see that the cost of Candy Bar 1 increases by $1.25 for each additional quantity. This indicates that the cost is not proportional to the quantity, as the ratio of cost to quantity is not constant.
On the other hand, for Candy Bar 2, the equation y = x represents a proportional relationship between the cost and quantity. This means that the cost increases at the same rate as the quantity.
Since the cost of Candy Bar 2 increases at a constant rate, it can be considered the cheapest cost per bar. Therefore, the answer is:
The cheapest cost per bar is for Candy Bar 2, so you should enter "2" for Candy Bar 2.

Derive the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
We can start by calculating the slope (m) using the formula:
m = (change in y) / (change in x)
For the points (1, 3) and (0, -2):
Change in y = 3 - (-2) = 5
Change in x = 1 - 0 = 1
Therefore, the slope (m) is:
m = 5/1 = 5
Next, we can substitute one of the given points and the slope into the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is:
y = mx + b
Using the point (1, 3):
3 = 5(1) + b
Simplifying:
3 = 5 + b
Now, we can solve for the y-intercept (b):
b = 3 - 5 = -2
Therefore, the y-intercept (b) is -2.
Now that we have the slope (m = 5) and the y-intercept (b = -2), we can write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:
y = 5x - 2
So, the equation of the line is y = 5x - 2.
