Answer:
slope = 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you were given two points, you can use the point-slope formula to find the slope. The general equation looks like this:
y₁ - y₂ = m(x₁ - x₂)
In this formula, "m" represents the slope. To find the slope, plug the values from the two points into the equation. Make sure to put the values from the same point in the variable with the same number.
Point 1: (-1, 8)
Point 2: (-7, 3)
y₁ - y₂ = m(x₁ - x₂) <----- Original formula
8 - y₂ = m(-1 - x₂) <----- Plug in "x" and "y" values from Point 1
8 - 3 = m(-1 - (-7)) <----- Plug in "x" and "y" values from Point 2
5 = m(-1 - (-7)) <----- Simplify left side
5 = m(6) <----- Simplify inside parentheses
5/6 = m <----- Divide both sides by 6
This is solved by setting up two equations and then using one to answer the other.
The first step (use what is given to set up the two separate equations)
We are looking for two numbers, let us call them X and Y.
We are told that X + Y = 59
We are also told that (9 more than) 9+ (4times the smaller number) 4Y is the bigger number X
Then we combine that into 9+4Y=X
so we now have two separate equations and we can use one to solve the other. Everywhere we have X in the first equation, we will fill in with the second equation
(9+4Y) +Y = 59 [then combine like terms]
9+5Y=59 [subtract 9 from both sides]
5Y=50 [divide both sides by 5 to isolate the Y]
Y=10 [now plug this into either equation to solve for X]
9+4(10)=X
9+40=X
<u><em>49=X and 10=Y</em></u>
560 / 7 = 80

Okay so basically it's like 4 to the power of 5 and like that and the • means multiply
