There are 12 female students and 18 male students in a class. which of the following expresses the ratio of female students to male students in simplest form?
a.3/2
b.3 to 2
c.2/3
d.3: 2

C. 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

12 female / 18 male

Dividing by 6 we get:

2 female / 3 male

or 2/3

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
