4x - 5y = 15 find the slope and y-intercept

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mazyrski [523]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

slope=4/5

y-intercept = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

first we need to rewrite the expression to

y=mx+b

were b is the y-intercept and m the slope

4x-5y=15\\\\4x-5y+5y=15+5y\\\\4x+0=15+5y\\\\4x=5(3)+5(y)\\\\4x=5(3+y)\\\\\frac{1}{5}*4x= \frac{1}{5}*5(3+y) \\\\\frac{4x}{5}=3+y\\\\\frac{4x}{5} -3=3+y-3\\\\\frac{4x}{5} -3=y+0\\\\y=\frac{4x}{5} -3\\\\y=\frac{4}{5}x-3

so there we have it

m=\frac{4}{5} \\\\b=-3

What is the solution to y=6x+25 y=12x-9
prisoha [69]

Answer:

x=17/3, y=59. (17/3, 59).

Step-by-step explanation:

y=6x+25

y=12x-9

--------------

6x+25=12x-9

12x-6x-9=25

6x-9=25

6x=25+9

6x=34

x=34/6=17/3

y=12(17/3)-9=4*17-9=68-9=59

Simplify the square root of 27x^12/300x^8
Darina [25.2K]
The first thing we are going to do is rewrite the expression correctly.
 We have:
 root (27x ^ 12 / 300x ^ 8)
 Rewriting:
 root ((27/300) * (x ^ 12 / x ^ 8))
 root ((9/100) * (x ^ (12-8)))
 root ((9/100) * (x ^ (4)))
 root ((9/100) * (x ^ (4)))
 3 * x ^ 2 * root ((1/100)
 (3 * x ^ 2) / 10
 (3/10) * (x ^ 2)
 Answer:
 (3/10) * (x ^ 2)

What is the actual slope of this line?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

  -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a "rise" between the two points of -4 units for a "run" of +1 unit. The slope is the ratio ...

  m = rise/run = -4/1 = -4.

The slope is -4.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

A "whole number" must be non-negative. Here, the slope is negative. If you're restricted to "a fraction or a whole number", then the appropriate answer is the fraction -4/1. We suspect that "integer" is meant where "whole number" is used.
