-6a -2b^4
^if you simplify, that would be your answer.
If were talking fractions then its the Denominator
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
In the straight line form...
y=mx+b
m is the constant of proportionality or the "K"
Let Home runs = X
Triples would be X-3 ( 3 less triples than home runs)
Doubles would be 3x ( 3 times as many doubles as home runs)
Singles would be 45(x-3) ( 45 times as many singles as triples)
Simplify the equation for singles to be 45x-153
Now you have X + x-3 + 3x + 4x-135 = 262
Simplify:
50x - 138 = 262
Add 138 to both sides:
50x = 400
Divide both sides by 50:
x = 400/50
x = 8
Home runs = x = 8
Triples = x-3 = 8-3 = 5
Doubles = 3x = 3(8) = 24
Singles = 45(x-3) = 45(8-3) = 45(5) = 225
Slope is your 2x, so 2x over 1 meaning after you plot (-2,2) on the graph you rise 2 and go 1 to the right, or do the opposite to make the line so go down 2 and one to the left. Hope that helped.
