Answer:

m=2

Step-by-step explanation:

- Before beginning, I'm going to show the guideline for slope-intercept form for linear equations:

· Slope-Intercept Form: y=mx+b

  • m= slope; the rotation of the line
  • b= the line's y-intercept; where the line hits the y-axis.

· Both m and b are constant integers whose value ranges from -∞ ⇒ ∞, all real numbers.

· y and x are values that depend on each other's value; (x,y) is how you would see them written on a number line.

- With this in mind, let's look at our current equation.

6x-3y=54

- It seems that our equation is not in a form that could easily show us what it's rotation is, slope, or where it hits the y-axis, so we're going to have to rearrange our equation so that it follows the slope-intercept guideline shown above.

6x-3y=54\\6x-3y+(-6x)=54+(-6x)

  • My first step was to move any values that are neither being multiplied nor divided by y to the other side of the equation. In this case, 6x is being added to -3y, so by adding the reciprocal of 6x to both sides, I can move it to the other side.

6x-3y+(-6x)=54+(-6x)\\-3y=-6x+54

  • Now our equation is starting to look somewhat like the guideline for slope-intercept form; all we need to do now is get rid of the -3 next to the y by dividing.

-3y=-6x+54\\\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{-6x+54}{-3}\\y=\frac{-6x}{-3}+\frac{54}{-3}

  • Almost there. All that's left is simplification and we're done! -3 goes into -6 two times, and -3 goes into 54 negative eighteen times, so our final, simplified equation is:

y=2x-18

  • By looking at our guideline, y=mx+b where m is slope and b is the y-intercept, we can determine that:

The slope of 6x-3y=54 is 2.

Uninterrupted Work:

6x-3y=54\\6x-3y+(-6x)=54+(-6x)\\-3y=-6x+54\\\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{-6x+54}{-3}\\y=\frac{-6x}{-3}+\frac{54}{-3}\\y=2x-18\\m=2

In a group of mherchants, 80% of them purchase goods from Asia, and 25% of them purchase goods from Europe. Which of following s
monitta

Answer:

7. 25% of the merchants who purchase goods from Asia also purchase from Europe.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to say that:

A is the percentage of merchants who purchase goods from Asia.

B is the percentage of merchants who purchase goods from Europe.

We have that:

A = a + (A \cap B)

In which a is the probability that a merchant purchases goods from Asia but not from Europe and A \cap B is the probability that a merchant purchases goods from both Asia and Europe.

By the same logic, we have that:

B = b + (A \cap B)

Which of following statement is individually sufficient to calculate what percent of the merchants in the group purchase goods from Europe but not form Asia?

We already have B.

Knowing A \cap B, that is, the percentage of those who purchase from both Asia and Europe, we can find b.

So the correct answer is:

7. 25% of the merchants who purchase goods from Asia also purchase from Europe.

Can someone help me with this please
ryzh [129]

Answer:

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can ignore the 3 and 6 because this has no y value change(rise over run)

This is a straight horizontal line so the equation is y=4.

Slope=0
