How to find slope and y intercept 6x-5y=15?

We need to put this equation in y = mx + b form because in this form, the slope will be in the m position and the y intercept will be in the b position. So basically, we solve for y.

6x - 5y = 15 ....subtract 6x from both sides
-5y = -6x + 15...divide both sides by -5
(-5/-5)y = (-6/-5)x + (15/-5)...simplify
y = 6/5x - 3

y = mx + b...remember, m is ur slope and b is ur y int
y = (6/5)x + (-3).....ur slope(m) = 6/5 and ur y int (b) = -3

Legend has it that a bull sasquatch in rut will howl approximately 9 times per hour when it is 40°f outside and only 5 times per
ahrayia [7]

The answer is 13.

To solve this question, you need to determine the slope of the function. if howl  is y and the temperature is x of the graph, the slope would be:

9-5/(40-70)= 4/-30= -2/15

Using one of the point and the slope, you can find the number of howl

-2/15= 9-y/40-(-20)

9-y= -2/15 * 60

9-y= -4

y= 9+4= 13

Factorise the following:<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%7B3x%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%2B%205x%20-%2012" id="TexFormula1" title=

Answer:

(x + 3)(3x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² + 5x - 12

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 3 × - 12 = - 36 and sum = + 5

The factors are + 9 and - 4

Use these factors to split the x- term

3x² + 9x - 4x - 12 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3x(x + 3) - 4(x + 3) ← factor out (x + 3) from each term

= (x + 3)(3x - 4)

Thus

3x² + 5x - 12 = (x + 3)(3x - 4) ← in factored form

If you want to put a 4x8 piece of plywood through a 3 foot square opening in your ceiling by turning it diagonally is the openin
Zigmanuir [339]
Here we apply the Pythagorean theorem:
c^2=a^2+b^2
The diagonal of the opening will be:
c^2=3^2+3^2
c^2=9+9
c^2=18
c=3√2 ft

The diagonal of the wood will be:
c^2=4^2+8^2
c^2=16+64
c^2=80
c=4√5 ft

The space will not be enough for the plywood to pass

Mice21 [21]
Well what i did was subtract 10 from 15 it get 5 for one side length and the other would be 24-16= 8. the scale factor would be +5 and + 8.
