Answer:

slope = - \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 2x + 3y = 2 into this form

Subtract 2x from both sides

3y = - 2x + 2 ( divide all terms by 3 )

y = - \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{2}{3} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{2}{3}

QUESTION

Your equation is 2x+3y=2 and you need to find the slope.

EXPLANATION

There are many ways to find the slope with an equation like this. I'm going to change the equation into slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form is formatted like this:

y=mx+b

m represents the slope. The first thing you need to do is leave 3y alone to change the equation into slope-intercept form. That means you need to subtract 2x from both sides.

2x+3y=2 \rightarrow 3y=2-2x\ or\ 3y=-2x-2

The next thing you need to do is leave y alone, just like the slope-intercept form example. To leave y alone, you need to divide 3y by 3.

\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{-2x-2}{3} \\ \\ y=-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}

Now the equation has been changed to slope-intercept form. In the equation, m has been replaced by -\frac{2}{3}, which means that is your answer.

Answer: -\frac{2}{3}

8 and 12 are separated by 1 line, and they have a difference of 4 units, so..

count every two lines and add 4 units

this means that the blue dot is 20

Carlos just took a 40 question math test. He scored a 75%. How many questions did he get correct?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

He missed 10 questions and got 30 right

Step-by-step explanation:

So we could do 0.75 times 40 and we would get 30

So he got 30 questions right which isn't too bad

Look at the picture below
Lelu [443]

Answer: Phillip is correct. The triangles are <u>not </u>congruent.

How do we know this? Because triangle ABC has the 15 inch side between the two angles 50 and 60 degrees. The other triangle must have the same set up (just with different letters XYZ). This isn't the case. The 15 inch side for triangle XYZ is between the 50 and 70 degree angle.

This mismatch means we cannot use the "S" in the ASA or AAS simply because we don't have a proper corresponding pair of sides. If we knew AB, BC, XZ or YZ, then we might be able to use ASA or AAS.

At this point, there isn't enough information. So that means John and Mary are incorrect, leaving Phillip to be correct by default.

Note: Phillip may be wrong and the triangles could be congruent, but again, we don't have enough info. If there was an answer choice simply saying "there isn't enough info to say either if the triangles are congruent or not", then this would be the best answer. Unfortunately, it looks like this answer is missing. So what I bolded above is the next best thing.

Assured normally costs £42 if you receive a 15% discount how much change will you get from £50
vesna_86 [32]
5% of £42 = £2.10
10% of £42 = £4.20
15% of £42 = £6.30

£42 - £6.30 = £35.70

£50 - £35.70 = £14.30

the answer is £14.30

Examine the following graph, where P(x) is the preimage and I(x) is the image after a transformation.
Arisa [49]

Answer:

the 4th answer I(x) = P(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

the first 2 options are out, because just adding values to the functional result values changes the y value, and the curve is pushed up or down. but not to the side.

just imagine

I(x) = P(x-4) means that the function value of previously at x-4 happens now at x. 4 units "later" (or more to the right).

"x+4" would make the functional value at previously x+4 happen now at x. so, everything would shift to the left (happen "earlier").

therefore, the 4th answer option is correct.
