If I have a slope that's a fraction should I divide, reduce, or leave it alone?

Question

For example, how would these be: 6/3 6/9 -8/-6 15/-6

Answer 1

Reduce!
6/3 = 2
6/9 = 2/3 (Both numbers are divisible by 3)
-8/-6 = 4/3 (Both numbers are divisible by 2 and you can cancel the negative sign on the top with the negative sign on the bottom)
15/-6 = -5/2 (Both numbers are divisible by 3 and you can move the negative sign to the top)

Answer 2

If you can, divide or reduce it. Otherwise, let it stay :)

Like for the examples

6/3 = 2
6/9 = 2/3
-8/-6 = 4/3
15/-6 = -5/2

Answer 3

you can do all of those things, it depends on the problem.
6/3=2
6/9=2/3
-8/-6=4/3
-15/6=-5/2

Answer 4

6/3=2 6/9=2/3 -8/-6=4/3(the negatives cancel) 15/-6=-5/2

Answer 5

In college math and physical science courses, the preference is to reduce, but leave it as a fraction, even if its numerator is more than the denominator (unless it can be reduced to an integer):

instead of negative one and one-half, write: -3/2

in your examples 6/3 would be 2.
6/9 would be 2/3.
-8/-6 would be 4/3.
15/-6 would be -5/2

Answer 6

(6/3) = 2
(6/9) = (2/3)
(-8)/(-6) = (4/3)
15/(-6)
(-5/2)

Answer 7

either 1..ur still gonna get the same thing
6 divided by 3 is 2.......6/3 reduced is 2 n a slope of 6/3 is gonna get u 2 the smae point as a slope of 2

Answer 8

If it's for homework, do whatever you were instructed to do. If it's for your own work, use whatever form is easiest for what you're doing.
