Answer:

slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure of an equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept. Since the given equation is not in the exact slope-intercept form, we need to rearrange it to identify the slope.

y + 2x = 5 <----- Given equation

y = -2x + 5 <----- Subtract 2x from both sides

Now, we can see that in the "m" position, there is a value of -2. This makes the slope = -2.

A cow can give 5 gallons of milk if it eats 2 pounds of grass. Express x in terms of y, where y is the number of gallons of milk

spayn [35]

Answer:

x = 2.5y

Step-by-step explanation:

If a cow can give 5 gallons of milk after eating 2 pounds of grass.

Let's consider 'x' is the number of pounds of grass it eats and 'y' is the number of gallons of milk the cow gives.

Hence,

5y = 2x

We will simplify it to get what x equal to y by dividing 2 on both side we find,

x = 2.5y

x is equal to 2.5 y

By eating 1 pound of grass cow can give 2.5 gallons of milk.

Answer:

Hence, both Marlon and Adrian both have the same at bats percentage.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marlon's at bats :

Number of at bats = 15

Hits = 6

Hit percentage = 6/15 * 100% = 40%

Adrian :

Number of at bats = 10

Hits = 4

Hit percentage = 4/10 * 100% = 40%

Hence, both Marlon and Adrian both have the same at bats percentage.
