If x to y as 4 is to 5 then what is y:x Please solve mark brainliest

y : x: = 5 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x to y = 4 to 5

Rewrite;

x:y = 4:5

Remember, a ratio is another way of representing a fraction, hence one can do the same operations that one could do with a fraction. Therefore, one can take the cross products of a ratio;

x : y= 4 : 5

5x = 4y

Inverse operations;

5x = 4y

x = y

Now substitute this into the equation y:x

y : y

Rewrite as a fraction;

Simplify;

Rewrite as a ratio;

y : x = 5 : 4

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
