The slope of the line l is the opposite reciprocal of y+2x=9. Rearranged the equation to y=9-2x and we get a slope of -2. The opposite reciprocal of -2 is 1/2.

y-y=m(x-x)
y-3=.5(x-4)
y=.5x+1

At the x-intercept, y=0, so
0=.5x+1
-1=.5x
x=-2

Answer=140 fish

200 gallons of water in the first aquarium.

200 gallons of water in the second aquarium.

The first will be for the small fishes.

   5 small fish            x fish
_____________=__________
     10 gallons        200 gallons

x=100 small fish

The first aquarium has 100 small fish.

The second aquarium holds large fish.

   8 large fish            x fish
____________=___________
    40 gallons        200 gallons

cross multiply
40x=1600

Explain why the slope of line a is 2/6.
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The slope of a line is 2/6 because slope also means rise over run (y/x). So the line's slope is 2/6 because it goes up (rises) in the y-direction 2 units and moves to the right (runs) 6 units, from one point to another.
