How to find slope and y intercept from the equation ax+by=c?

Mathematics
1 answer:
melisa1 [442]3 years ago
5 0

solve for "y" so it is in the form y = mx + b.   "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

ax + by = c

      by = -ax + c          <em>subtracted "ax" from both sides</em>

       y  = (-a/b)x  + c/b     <em>divided both sides by "b"</em>

Answer: slope is -a/b    and y-intercept is c/b

12x - 5 = 8x - x + 50<br> Help please show work and check the solution
Inga [223]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 5 = 8x - x + 50 \\ 12x - 5 = 7x + 50 \\ 12x - 5 - 7x = 7x + 50 - 7x \\ 12x - 7x - 5 = 50  \\ 5x - 5 = 50 \\ 5x - 5 + 5 = 50 + 5 \\ 5x = 55 \\ x = 11

and check:

12(11) - 5 = 8(11) - (11) + 50 \\ 132 - 5 = 77 + 50 \\ 127 = 127

Which term can be used in the blank of 36x3−22x2−__ so the greatest common factor of the resulting polynomial is 2x? Select two
maria [59]

Answer:

4xy and 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are to select which of the options to put into the blank space that will make the greatest common factor of the polynomial 2x. We are to select two options

Now, looking at the blank space, we should understand that , any answer we shall be choosing shall be an answer that contains x alongside the number.

This makes 24 and 44y out of the way.

Now let’s look at 4xy and 12x. Let’s insert them into the blank space;

36x^3-22x^2 - 4xy which gives : 2x(18x^2-11x-2y)

and 36x^3-22x^2-12x = 2x(18x^2-11x-6)

The reason why we will not use 44y and 24 is because 2x is not a factor of either.

Hey, another math question
Lena [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By adjacent interior angles theorem,

If a transversal line 'r' intersects two parallel lines 'm' and 'n' then the consecutive interior angles are supplementary.

a° + (3x - 18)° = 180°

a° = 180° - (3x - 18)°

By vertical angles theorem,

If two straight lines intersect each other at a point, opposite angles formed are equal in measure.

180° - (3x - 18)° = (5x - 10)°

(5x - 10) + (3x - 18) = 180

(5x + 3x) - (10 + 18) = 180

8x - 28 = 180

8x = 180 + 28

8x = 208

x = 26

| 8 - 2x | &gt; (or equal to) x? find the absolute value
docker41 [41]
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, than isolating the variable.

x ≤ 8/3 or x ≥ 8
