Answer:

The slope is 3/2 and the y intercept is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

2y -3x=8

Add 3x to each side

2y-3x+3x= 8+3x

2y = 3x+8

Divide by 2

2y/2 = 3/2x +8/2

y = 3/2x +4

The slope is 3/2 and the y intercept is 4

Answer:

y ≤ x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is 1 (every unit for x, there is a unit for y, rise/run is 1/1). The y-intercept is -1, because the line crosses the y-axis at -1. The graph is shaded below the line, and the line is solid, meaning that y is less than or equal to x -1, or y ≤ x - 1.

Answer:

$→1 \frac{2}{3} + 2 \frac{3}{4} \\ = \frac{5}{3} + \frac{11}{4} \\ = \frac{20 + 33}{12} \\ = \frac{53}{12}\\ =\boxed{4\frac{5}{12}}✓$
