Which answer is the slope of of the line with equation 5x+y=15

1 answer:

4 0

This line is given to us in standard form, $Ax+By=C$ , but it's easiest to see the slope when we convert to slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$ , where m is the slope.

We are going to solve for y.

$5x+y=15\\5x-5x+y=-5x+15\\y=-5x+15\\m=-5$

The slope is the coefficient of the x-term, –5.

What is the quotient of StartFraction 7 Superscript negative 1 Baseline Over 7 Superscript negative 2 Baseline EndFraction? Star

Komok [63]

The quotient of the number given number 7 Superscript negative 1 Baseline Over 7 Superscript negative 2 Baseline is 7.

<h3>What is the quotient?</h3>

Quotient is the resultant number which is obtain by dividing a number with another. Let a number a is divided by number b. Then the quotient of these two number will be,

$q=\dfrac{a}{b}$

Here, (<em>a, b</em>) are the real numbers.

The number StartFraction 7 Superscript negative 1 Baseline Over 7 Superscript negative 2 Baseline EndFraction, given can be written as,

$\dfrac{7^{-1}}{7^{-2}}$

Let the quotient of this division is n. Therefore,

$n=\dfrac{7^{-1}}{7^{-2}}$

A number in numerator of a fraction with negative exponent can be written in the denominator with the same but positive exponent and vise versa. Therefore,

$n=\dfrac{7^{2}}{7^{1}}\\n=7$
