Answer:

-6 is the slope

Step-by-step explanation:

When and equation of a line is written in the form

y= mx+b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

y = -6x -2

-6 is the slope and -2 is the y intercept

The equation of the line passing through the points (3, 16) and (5, 10) can be expressed as y = mx + b. Give the value of b

Alenkinab [10]

we are given two points as

(3, 16) and (5, 10)

firstly , we will find slope

slope is m

so, we can use formula

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

now, we can plug points

$m=\frac{10-16}{5-3}$

$m=\frac{-6}{2}$

$m=-3$

we can plug it in y=mx+b

we get

$y=-3x+b$

now, we can select any one points

and find b

(3,16)

x=3 and y=16

$16=-3*3+b$

we can find b

$b=25$

now, we can plug back b

and we get

$y=-3x+25$

so, equation is

$y=-3x+25$

and

$b=25$ ...............Answer

One fifth of a number plus three times the number is equal to twice the number plus 42. What is the number

borishaifa [10]

Equation to find number's value: $\frac{1}{5}n + 3n = 2n + 42$

Number's value: n = 35

Explanation:

Let n be the unknown number for this problem.

One fifth of a number is the same as $\frac{1}{5}n$ .

Three times the number is the same as 3n.

Twice the number plus 42 is the same as 2n + 42.

So, using the information we've gathered so far, we can create the equation that will provide us with n's value.

Equation: $\frac{1}{5}n + 3n = 2n + 42$

We can use this equation to find n's value.

You can subtract 2n from both sides to get the equation $\frac{1}{5}n + n = 42$ , which is the same thing as the equation we were using.

Now add n and $\frac{1}{5}n$ together to get $1\frac{1}{5}n$ .

After you do this, your equation should look like $1\frac{1}{5}n=42$ .

Now divide both sides by $1\frac{1}{5}$ to get n's value.

n = 35
