Answer:

<h2>The slope m = -2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the equation in the standard form:

$6x+3y=12$

Convert to the slope intercept form:

$6x+3y=12$ subtract 6x from both sides

$3y=-6x+12$ divide both sides by 3

$y=-2x+4$

slope: m = -2

y-intercept: b = 4

When working overtime, an auto mechanic gets paid 1.5 times the normal hourly wage. Overtime is the amount of time worked beyond

DedPeter [7]

So

x=hours
y=pay

use a piecewise function maybe

for x≤40, use y=21x

for x>40, use 840+1.5(21(x-40))

k, sso 46>40 so

840+1.5(21(46-40))
840+1.5(21(6))
840+1.5(126)
840+189
1029

A. 840+1.5(21(x-40))
B. $1029

The legs of a right triangle are 6 units and 7 units. What is the length of the hypotenuse?

UNO [17]

This requires the pythagorean theorem :
a^2 + b^2 = c^2...where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse..and by the way, this can only be used on right triangles

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 7^2 = c^2
36 + 49 = c^2
85 = c^2...take the sqrt of both sides, eliminating the ^2
sqrt 85 = c
9.22 = c....so the hypotenuse is approximately 9.22 units (thats rounded)
