Slope intercept is basically solve for y
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yintercept
-3x-10y=7
add 3x to both sides
-10y=3x+7
divide both sides by -10
y=-3/10x-7/10
slope is -3/10
yintercept is -7/10 or at point (0,-7/10)
Let m the tens digit and n the ones
the Original number is 10m+n
7(m+n) =10m+n
7m+7n=10m+n
6n=3m
Reversing the number 10n+m
10n+m=18+n+m
9n=18
n=2
6n=3m
6(2)=3m
3m=12
m=4
the number is 10m+n=10(4)+2=42
The common difference is 4. U know that the formula is the first term + d(n -1). N-1 is 14 so u know that 14 times a number needs to equal 56 because the first term is -3 and 56-3 is 53. 14 * 4 is 56. So the common difference is 4
This question is easier than it seems. If there are 9 consecutive integers with the mean being 16, then 16 must be the median. So just add four on top and four below 16 to give you your range of 9 values, 12-20. 12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20=144, 144/9=16. So the mean of the first four numbers is (12+13+14+15)/4= 13.5. If you check, 13.5 is also the median of these four numbers.
5/8=.625 and 7/15=.466 repeating so 5/8 is a bigger fraction
