Answer:
5 and 1 over 6
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Simplifying the given:</u>
- Negative 2 and 1 over 6 – negative 7 and 1 over 3 ⇒ <em>translated as</em>:
- - 2 1/6 - (-7 1/3) = ⇒ <em>cancelling negatives and changing mixed fractions to improper fractions</em>
- - 13/6 + 22/3 = ⇒ <em>bringing to same denominator</em>
- - 13/6 + 44/6 = ⇒ calculating the numerator
- 31/6 = ⇒ making mixed fraction
- 5 1/6 ⇒ answer
<u>Correct choice is the last one: </u>5 and 1 over 6
First, we need to make the equation given to be in the form;
y=mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the intercept
8y - 3x = -8
Add 2x to both-side of the equation
8y = 3x - 8
Divide through the equation by 8
y = 3/8 x -1
comparing the above with y =mx + b
m = 3/8
slope of parallel equations are equal
From the options given the only equation with slope 3/8 is;
y= 3/8 x + 8
The above equation of the line is parallel to 8y - 3x = -8
Answer:
He would need 3/4 a gallon to paint the wall
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: -1/2
Explanation: -4y > 2x + 4; isolate the y by dividing both sides by -4 and get:
y = -2/4x + 4; simplify
y = -1/2x + 4
In y = mx + b; m is the slope
In this case, -1/2 is the slope
