Answer:
We need to find the value of b to make 8b - 27 be equal to 5, so:
8b - 27 = 5
We solve the equation:
8b = 5 + 27
8b = 32
We divide both sides by 8:
b = 32/8 = 4
So now, we know that b=4, and we can verify:
8*4 - 27 = 5
32 - 27 = 5 TRUE
5g-6 when you multiply a verable with a number you simplily put the letter beside the number and that lets us know to multiply:)
The slope of the first equation has a slope of one and a y intercept of -4. The second equation has a y intercept of -2.3333 as seen when plugging in 0 for x, so the same y-intercept and same line are out of the question. This means either they have the same slope and thus are parallel or intersect at some point. A simple way to find out? Plug in 1 for x on the second. If it isn't -1.33333, which is a slope of positive 1 such as in the first equation, they WILL INTERSECT somewhere. When plugging in 1, we get
3y - 1 = -7
3y = -6
y = -2
(1, -2) is the next point after (0, -2.3333)
That means it is most certainly not the same slope, and thus they will intersect at some point. The two slopes are 1/1 and 1/3 if you weren't aware.
Y = -0.4x
1) It is a straight line
2) I passes through the origin (0,0), because the y-intercpet is 0.
3) The slope is negative, so it passes throuh II and III quadrants
4) The magnitude of the slope = 0.4
4) The angle of the line with the negative side of the x-axis is that whose tan is 0.4 => angle = 21.8 °
With all that information you can identify the graph, given that you didn't include the options.
