6/9 of 27 students in a class play soccer some of the students play offense and the rest play defense the ratio of the students playing offense to the total number of students playing soccer is 1 to3 how many students play defense

12 students play defense. 1st step.  6/9 of 27 is 18.  2nd. the ratio of the students playing offense to the total number of students playing soccer is 1 to 3 which means the total amount of students is '3', in the ratio it's 3 because it's simplified (i like to think of it as 'groups'). since we know that there are a total of 18 students and there's 3 total 'groups' we divide 18 into 3 which is 6. so there's 6 students in each group. we subtract 6 (1 group) from 18 ( the total number of students) which is 12, so there are 12 students playing defense. if you wrote the ratio again without simplifying it would be  6:18

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
