(-8,-2);m=3/4 in point slope form

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation that describes the line with a slope of m and containing the point (x₀, y₀) is: y - y₀ = m(x - x₀)

m = ³/₄

(-8, -2)  ⇒    x₀ = -8,  y₀ = -2

Therefore:

y - (-2) = ³/₄(x - (-8))

y + 2 = ³/₄(x + 8)

36 girls

step-by-step explanation:

the 48 boys is 4 parts of the ratio

divide 48 by 4 to obtain one part of the ratio

= 12 ← 1 part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × 12 = 36 ← number of girls
