Hello there!

To find the slope, we must first put this equation in y = mx + b form (also known as slope intercept form)

First, let's solve the right side using the distributive property.

To do this, we will multiply -3 by both x and -17

-3 * x = -3x

-3 * -17 = 51 (a negative times a negative equals a positive)

So, now we have: y - 5 = -3x + 51


Now we must get rid of the -5 on the right side.

To do this, we will add -5 to both sides

y - 5 + 5 = -3x + 51 + 5

Now we have y = -3x + 56

Now, we know the slope is -3

I hope my answer helped you out!

First distribute -3 to both x and -17
-3(x) = -3x
-3(-17) = 51

y - 5 = -3x + 51

isolate the y, add 5 to both sides

y - 5 (+5) = -3x + 51 (+5)

add all numbers with same variables together

y = -3x + 51 + 5
y = -3x + 56

inside the slope intercept form:

y = y
m = slope
x = x
b = intercept.

y = mx + b (using this equation, we can see that -3 = m)

-3 is slope, and is your answer 

hope this helps

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

p=−248.125

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Subtract 100 on each side of the equation.
  2. After this, you will have 99.25=0.4p.
  3. Divide each side of the equation by 0.4 to get p by itself.
  4. You should get p= -248.125

Answer:

I got 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The chance of getting less than 3 is 2/6.

If she rolls the dice 60 times, that means you have to multiply 2/6 by 60.

The answer you would get is 20.
