In order to find the answer to this question you will have to simplify using the distributive property.

$5(b-1)$

Applying the distributive property:

$5b+5\times-1$

$5\times-1=-5$

$5b-5$

Therefore the answer is "5b-5."

Hope this helps.

Answer:

5b-5

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing these kinds of problems you want to do dributive property which means you multiply whatever number is outside of the (), which is 5, and multiply that by b and 1.

when numbers are outside the () and right next to them without anything like +,-, or a division sign, it means to multiply.

Calculate the gradient of the line using rise/run method.

Lapatulllka [165]

Given:

The graph of line.

To find:

The gradient of the line using rise/run method.

Solution:

We know that the gradient of a line is also known as slope.

$Slope=\dfrac{Rise}{Run}$

Consider the two intercepts, then rise is distance between origin and y-intercept and run is the distance between origin and the x-intercept. But rise must be negative because the value of y decreased from 3 to 0.

$Rise=-3$
