y intercept = 1/2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Formula y=mx+b in Slope Intercept form( whereas m= slope of the given equation, b= y intercept)

Step 2:

Comparing the given equation y = -3x + 1/2

we get m=-3(Slope) and y-intercept b=1/2

8x to the 2nd power +2x-3=0

Papessa [141]

Answer:

x= 1/2 and -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

By using factorization, we can solve this equation.

8x^2+2x-3=0

Factor:

(2x-1)(4x+3)=0

Solve:

2x-1=0

2x=1

x=1/2

Solve again:

4x+3=0

4x=-3

x=-3/4

What is the slope of the line that passes through (8,4) and (6,7)?

bija089 [108]

$slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\ 
(x_1,y_1)=(8,4)\\ 
(x_2,y_2)=(6,7)\\\\
 slope=\frac{7-4}{6-8}=\frac{3}{-2}=-\frac{3}{2}\\\\
Slope\ is\ equal\ to\ -\frac{3}{2}.
