Answer 1

Answer:

A(...; 7)

x =-1/5

B(8; ...)

y = 48

The slope is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y−5x=8

A(...; 7)

We know that y=7, we need to find x

7 - 5x = 8

Subtract 7 from each side

7-7 -5x = 8-7

-5x =1

Divide by -5

-5x/-5 = 1/-5

x =-1/5

B(8; ...)

We know x = 8 we need to find y

y−5x=8

y - 5(8) = 8

y - 40 =8

Add 40 to each side

y-40+40 = 8+40

y = 48

Now we need to find the slope

y - 5x =8

Add 5x to each side

y -5x+5x = 5x+8

y = 5x+8

This is in the form y = mx+b  where m is the slope

The slope is 5
