Answer:

In your equation 4x+5y=-9, you've got to but your equation in slope intercept form which is y=mx+b.

First we need to get the y by itself.

Subtract 4x from each side to get:

5y=-4x-9

Next we want to divide both sides by 5.

y=-4/5x-9/5

Your slope is m which in our case -4/5.

Then our y-intercept is b or -9/5.

Your answer would then be C. slope=-4/5 and y-intercept=-9/5.

Hope this helps ;)

You'd be tempted to say, "If it doesn't rain then...", but in fact you don't know what happens then. What you do know, is that if the road is NOT slippery, then clearly it is not raining.

Answer:

x > 8.125 or 8 & 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

8( -x - 7) > 16

-8x - 49 > 16

+ 49 + 49

-8x > 65

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

15 bicycles and 6 skateboards.

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of bicycles and y represent the number of skateboards. The first equation in our system is then

x+y = 21, since there are 21 total items in the shop.

Each bicycle has 2 tires and each skateboard has 4; this gives us the equation

2x+4y=54 (because they are ordering 54 tires).

This makes our system

$\left \{ {{x+y=21} \atop {2x+4y=54}} \right.$

We will use elimination to solve this; we first need one of the variables to have the same coefficient in both equations. We will make x the same, and we will do this by multiplying the first equation by 2:

$\left \{ {{2(x+y=21)} \atop {2x+4y=54}} \right. \\
\\\left \{ {{2x+2y=42} \atop {2x+4y=54}} \right.$
