Amira is told there is a trick to finding the slope within an equation in standard form, Ax+By=C. She is told she can rewrite th

is equation in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, to find the pattern. She correctly rewrites the equation 7x+9y=14 in slope-intercept form as y=− 7/9x +14/9. Which answer explains the pattern for how to find the slope using an equation in standard form?
A. In slope-intercept form, the slope is 14/9. These values are C and A, but with the opposite sign, so the slope of the line from the equation in standard form is − C/A.

B. In slope-intercept form, the slope is − 7/9. These values are A and B, but with the opposite sign, so the slope of the line from the equation in standard form is − A/B.

C. In slope-intercept form, the slope is 14/9. These values are C and B, but with the opposite sign, so the slope of the line from the equation in standard form is − C/B.

D. In slope-intercept form, the slope is − 7/9. These values are A and B, but with the opposite sign, so the slope of the line from the equation in standard form is − B/A.

Answer:

B. In slope-intercept form, the slope is − 7/9. These values are A and B, but with the opposite sign, so the slope of the line from the equation in standard form is − A/B.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's convert the standard equation into slope-intercept form:</u>

  • Ax + By = C              ⇒ subtract Ax from both sides
  • By = -Ax + C             ⇒ divide both sides by B
  • y = -A/Bx + C/B        ⇒ converted to slope- intercept form

As we see the slope is -A/B

<u>The equation 7x + 9y = 14 is converted as:</u>

  • y = -7/9x + 14/9, where the slope is -7/9

<u>Looking at the answer options and the correct one is option B, where both identification of slopes match.</u>

  • B. In slope-intercept form, the slope is − 7/9. These values are A and B, but with the opposite sign, so the slope of the line from the equation in standard form is − A/B.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have 'x' students who like math and 'y' students that like science, we can formulate that:

Half of x likes math and science, and also one third of y likes math and science, so:

(1/2) * x = (1/3) * y

x / y = (1/3) / (1/2)

x / y = (1/3) * 2 = 2/3

So the ratio of the number of students who like math to the number of students who like science is 2/3

The measure of an angle is 8 times the measure of its complement. tina writes an equation and finds the correct measure of each
pogonyaev
One of the unknown angles (let's called it n) has a complement (meaning their sum adds up to 90 degrees) and the other angle is 8 times the unknown angle (8n)

With all this information, you should have the equation:

n + 8n = 90

To solve, combine like terms to get:

9n = 90

Divide by 9 on both sides to isolate the variable n.

n = 10

Now we plug back in to find our angle measurements. The first angle, n, is 10 degrees. The second angle, 8n, is 8 * 10 which is 80; the second angle is 80 degrees.
