What is the slope of the line with the equation of y=-4x that passes through the point (3,1)

The question seems incomplete but that could just be my perception.

The slope of y = -4x is -4 as it's the value just in front of the x value. This equation is in the form y = mx+b where m = -4 and b = 0. The m is the slope.

Anything parallel to y = -4x will also have a slope of -4. Parallel lines have equal slopes (but different y intercepts)

Anything perpendicular to y = -4x will have a slope of 1/4. Notice how multiplying the original slope (-4) and the perpendicular slope (1/4) gets you -1. To go from -4 to 1/4, we flip the fraction and the sign. Think of -4 as -4/1 to flip the fraction to -1/4 and then flip the sign to +1/4 or just 1/4.

1. It must be divisible by 2 and 3. It IS divisible by 2. it IS divisible by 3. No remainder.
2. Add the digits and see if the sum is divisible by 3. Apply this rule to both numbers. 3 is not a common factor.

.<br> Solve for x:<br><br> 2% of x = 17<br><br> a 34<br><br> b 8.5<br><br> c 85<br><br> d 850
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:850

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this 2% of x= 17

2/100×x=17

2x/100=17

2x=1700

x=850

Shelia mixed 3 ounces of blue paint with 2 ounces of yellow paint. She decided to create 20 ounces of the same mixture. How many
zimovet [89]
Yellow:blue is a ratio of 2:3, meaning that 2/5 of the desired mixture is yellow. From this, you need to find how much yellow is necessary for 20 ounces. Well, 2/5 of the 20 ounces will be yellow paint, while the other 3/5 will be blue. So she will need 8 ounces of yellow paint to get 20 ounces of the desired mixture. Hope this helps! :)
