If the 30 girls who tried out for the lacrosse team at euclid middle school ,12 were selected .of the 40. boys who tried out 16 were selected are the ratios of the number of students on the team to the number of students trying out the same for both boys and girls how do you know

No I do not think that 12/60 and 16/40 are equivalent because onec you reduce both of the fractions it does not equal.

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!

The answer would be the second choice : )
