Answer:

\frac{4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given we can say the two points are (-5, 4) and (-10, 0).  An x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis giving us a y value of 0.

So, we will use the following formula, where m is equal to the slope.

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Now we will plug in the x and y values given above, (-5, 4) and (-10, 0).

m=\frac{0-4}{-10+5}\\ m=\frac{-4}{-5}\\ m=\frac{4}{5}

Note: In the denominator of the first line, the -5 was changed to a 5 because in the original equation, we are told to subtract.  When you have two negatives they cancel each other out.

Hope this helps! <3

$2,500 • 7.5% (or 0.075) = $187.50 (for one year).

For two years, the interested added onto the original price is $375 because $187.50 • 2 (years) = $375.

$2,500 + $375 = $2,875

The total of the cost of the surgery and the interest is $2,875.

4x + 8y=20<br> 3x+6y=15<br> solve this system of equations
laila [671]
4x=20-8y

x=5-2y now use this value of x in the second equation...

3(5-2y)+6y=15

15-6y+6y=15

15=15  This is true for any y or x value.

So there are infinitely many solutions as the two equations describe the same line.
