Answer:   The slope of the line is 1.5 and the y-intercept is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given that the equation of a straight line is as follows :

y=1.5x-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We are to find the slope and y-intercept of the given line.

We know that

the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given by

y=mx+c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept of the line.

From equation (i), we have

y=1.5x-2\\\\\Rightarrow y=1.5x+(-2).

Comparing the above equation with the slope-intercept form, we get

slope, m = 1.5   and   y-intercept, c = -2.

Thus, the slope of the line is 1.5 and the y-intercept is -2.

Slope: 1.5
y-intercept: -2

Explanation:
The slope is the number attached to 'x' in the equation. In this case, 1.5 would be the slope because it's attached to x.

The y-intercept is the constant the number not attached to any variables. In this case, -2 is all by itself.

Hope that helps!

Answer:

1. 23/4  ,  2. 5.555...   , 3. 5 1/2   ,    4. √28

you want to make them all into decimals so you can compare then easier

23/4 would be 5.75

√28 (just put it in a calculator)  would be 5.29

5 1/2  would be 5.5  (make  it into a improper fraction 11/2 then do 11/2 and you get 5.5)

and you have 5.555.

so...

5.75

5.29

5.5

5.55555

first is 5.75 it's bigger because of the .(75)

then 5.555 because it's .(55)

then 5.5 because it's .(50)

and the last one 5.(29)
