To answer the ratio, massage this equation around to find ' n/m ' .
Let's subtract 'm' from each side:
4n = 2n + 7m
Subtract '2n' from each side:
2n = 7m
Divide each side by 'm' :2 (n/m) = 7
Divide each side by 2 :
n/m = 7/2 . . . . . there's your ratio. That's choice-'e'.

What is the slope of the line whose equation is -48 = 2x - 8y? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer:

The slope is $\frac{2}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the general equation of a straight line $y = mx+c$

Here $m$ is the slope of the line.

So let's get the equation of the line in the question in the same form.

$-48 = 2x-8y$

Add $8y$ to both sides: $8y - 48 = 2x$

Add $48$ to both sides: $8y = 2x + 48$

Divide by $8$ to get it into the general equation: $y = \frac{2}{8} x + 6$

Now compare it to the general equation to find the value of $m$ . The value of $m$ is the coefficient of $x$ which we can see is $\frac{2}{8}$

Describe the graph of of the equation x = -2. Is the equation a function?

Cloud [144]

In the event that a line has no y-intercept, that implies it never converges the y-intercept, so it must be parallel to the y-intercept. This implies it is a vertical line, for example, . This slant of this line is vague. In the event that the line has no x-intercept, at that point it never meets the x-intercept, so it must be parallel to the x-pivot.

If x-intercept is -2 the line would be vertical as the y-intercept = 0.
