look at the coordinate plane below record the names that you have just circled in the increasing order of the second coordinate and you will have a way to compare quantities

r, a, t, i, o

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking back at the question before this, Among these points, circle the points where x<y (the first coordinate, x, is smaller than the second coordinate, y.) the points were a, t, o, i, r. Those are the circled numbers.

Looking at this problem now, we will count those letters up from the y axis, in an increasing order. (also it spells out ratio)

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
