X+2y=18
-x -x
2y=-x+18
/2 /2 /2

y=mx+b
y=-1/2x+9

the slope is -1/2

You solve for y. you dont need the x intercept
x+2y=18
2y=-x+18
divide everything by two
y=-1/2x+9
the slope would be -1/2
since in the equation y=mx+b
m represents the slope which in this case would be -1/2

one tank is filling at a rate of 3/4 per gallon per 2/3 minute .a second tank is at a 5/8 gallon per 1 half gallon per 1/2 minut

$recall\ that\implies \cfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{{{ d}}}}\implies \cfrac{a}{b}\cdot \cfrac{{{ d}}}{c}\qquad thus
\\ \quad \\

\cfrac{\frac{3g}{4}}{\frac{2m}{3}}\implies \cfrac{3g}{4}\cdot \cfrac{3}{2m}\implies \cfrac{\square ?}{\square ?}
\\-------------\\
\cfrac{\frac{5g}{8}}{\frac{1m}{2}}\implies \cfrac{5g}{8}\cdot \cfrac{2}{1m}\implies \cfrac{\square ?}{\square ?}$

so... you tells us, which filling rate is the bigger and thus faster one?

Answer: 2.5

Step-by-step explanation: subtract 2x from both sides and get 4x-2=8 so then add 2 on both sides to get 4x=10 and last step is to divide both sides by 4 which wild get you x=2.5
