Currently the equation 6x - 2y = 18 is in standard form. Convert the standard form equation into a slope-intercept form and we can find the slope easily.
Solve for y.
6x - 2y = 18
-2y = 18 - 6x <-- Subtract 6x from each side. This is to isolate the 2y term
2y / -2 =

<-- Divide each side by 2. This it to
get rid of the 2 coefficient.
y = -9 + 3x
Rearrange the right-hand side a bit.
y = -9 + 3x becomes y = 3x - 9
Now it is in slope-intercept form.
The slope is the coefficient of the x variable.
So, 3 is the slope.
Answer:
z=5
Step-by-step explanation:
12.2z+ 19.4 = -2.7z + 93.9
14.9z=74.5
z=5
Refer to the diagram shown below.
When x = 30 ft, the cable is at 15 ft, therefore y(30) = 15.
That is,
a(30 - h)² + k = 15 (1)
Also, because the distance between the supports is 90 ft, therefore
y(0) = 6 ft, and y(90) = 6 ft
That is,
a(-h)² + k = 6 (2)
a(90 - h)² + k = 6 (3)
From (2) and (3), obtain
a(90 - h)² = ah²
90² - 180h + h² = h²
180h = 90²
h = 45 ft.
From (1) and (2), obtain
225a + k = 15
2025a + k = 6
Therefore
1800a = -9
a = - 0.005
k = 15 - 225(-0.005) = 16.125 ft
Answer:
The equation for the cable is
y = - 0.005(x - 45)² + 16.125
A graph of the solution verifies that the solution is correct.
