Answer: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation: To identify the slope of this line, we first need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form.

In slope-intercept or y = mx + b form, the y

is by itself on the left side of the equation.

So our first task in this problem is to get y by itself

on the left side of the equation and we do that by

first adding 2x to both sides to get 3y = 2x + 6.

Notice that I put the x term first on the right side of the equation and then the number because in y = mx + b form, the x term comes first on the right side of the equation.

Continuing on, to get y by itself we would

divide both sides by 3 to get y = 2/3x + 2.

Now in y = mx + b form, the slope is coefficient of the x term.

So we can see that the slope of this line is 2/3.

Which number in the monomial 215x18y3z21 needs to be changed to make it a perfect cube?

hoa [83]

We need to remember that:
xyz = (x)(y)(z)
if x, y and z are perfect cubes, then xyz would also be a perfect cube

Also,
(x^n)^m = x^(mn)
if it is a perfect cube, then it can be factored into the expression (x^n)^3, wherein n is a whole number.

All should be a perfect cube, given

215x^18(y^3)(z^21)

By writing the terms separately, we would see which one is to be changed.

215 = 5*43, we see this is not a perfect cube, we could changed it to 6^3 or 216

x^18=(x^6)^3

y^3=y^3
z^21=(z^7)^3

The other terms are perfect cubes except for the first one. So the correct answer would be the last option, 215 should be changed.

-10.0-(-3.4) also you have to simplify your answer

uysha [10]

-13.4 is the answer. And this is simplified form
