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

1. This shape is called a parallelogram and it’s area formula is A=W*H, so you would plug in 12 1/3 for H and 17 1/5 for W. The answer would be 215yd.

2. This is a triangle and it’s area formula is A=1/2bh. Plug in 14 as H and 17 for b. The answer would be 119ft.

Evaluate the expression. 6 to the third power + 5( 8 + 15)
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

5083

Step-by-step explanation:

6^3 + 5(8 + 15)

Simplify the bracket first

6 x 6 x 6 + 5 (23)

216 + 5 (23)

221 (23)

221 x 23 = 5083

The least squares regression line is obtained when the sum of the squared residuals is minimized.
Marrrta [24]
This is true, because the LSRL does get its line when minimizing the sum of the squares difference between the observed (x value) and predicted (y-at)
