Find the slope of a line whose equation is 3X+6Y=9

1 answer:

8 0

To find the slope of the above equation, it is easiest to put it into slope-intercept form, y=mx + b, where the variable m represents the slope. To do this, we must isolate the variable y on the left side of the equation by using the reverse order of operations. First, we should subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.

3x + 6y = 9

6y = -3x + 9

Next, we should divide both sides of the equation by 6 to undo the coefficent of 6 on the variable y.

y = -1/2x + 3/2

Therefore, the slope of the line is -1/2 (the coefficient of the variable x in slope-intercept form).

Hope this helps!

A paper clip is just over 4 cm long. How many paper clips like this can be made from a straight piece of wire 10 meters long?

bixtya [17]

Answer:

25 Paper Clips

Step-by-step explanation:

100cm is equal to 1 meter. So to find the answer you would need to take the whole of the centimeter (100) and divide that by the paper clips length (4).

100/4 = 25

So, to form a straight line 10 meters long you would need 25 paper clips each 4cm long.
