Two friends share some money in the ratio 7: 2 what fraction of the money does the first friend receive

The first friend received 7 of the (7+2) = 9 total shares, or 7/9 of the money.

i dont get it. where are the "descriptions"?

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
