What is the slope of find the slope of the line described by 4x + 5y = 60?

1 answer:

5 0

1) isolate y

4x + 5y = 60
-4x -4x
_____________
5y = -4x + 60

2) make y so that is is alone with no numbers beside it

5y = -4x + 60
__________
5

y = -4/5x + 60

3) the slope is ALWAYS the number to the left of x, even if it's a fraction. It's it a decimal, convert to a fraction. The last number (in this case is 60) is where the slope crosses the y-axis on the coordinate plane.

The slope is -4/5x + 60

Write the inequality:<br><br> Two less than twice a number is less than a half.

Art [367]

Answer:

2x-2<1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

when the problem says "two less than" it means we are subtracting 2 from something, in this case, that something is "twice a number" as the problem states. So we would write 2x where x is a variable that represents any number so we have 2x-2<1/2.
