Y = mx + b

m = slope, b = y-intercept

m = -3, therefore the slope is -3

Subtract 2 from both sides:
y−2=−3x

Divide both sides by -3:
- y-2/ 3 =x

switch sides:
x- y-2/3

Answer: x- y-2/3

Maria had planned to walk 10 1/8 miles on wednesday, if she walked 7 2/8 miles in the morning how far would she need to walk in

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Distance Maria had to walk in the afternoon is $2\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take that Maria walked $x$ miles in the afternoon.

Distance walked in the morning + distance walked in the afternoon = $10\frac{1}{8}$

⇒ $7\frac{2}{8} +x=10\frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{58}{8} +\frac{8x}{8} =\frac{81}{8}$

$\frac{58+8x}{8} =\frac{81}{8}$

$58+8x=81$

$8x=81-58\\$

$8x=23$

$x=\frac{23}{8}$

$x=2\frac{7}{8}$
