Option B: 8x+1 has the steepest slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as the rate of change of a line

The steepness of a slope means how close it is to being vertical

The greater value of slope means, more steepness. The value of slope can wither b positive or negative

We have to compare the slopes of all given options to find the steepest slope

As the options are in slope-intercept form, the coefficients of x will be the slope

So,

a. Slope = -4

b. Slope = 8

c. Slope = 2/3 = 0.66

d . Slope = 1/7 = 0.14

We can see that the largest value of slope in negative and positive is 8

So,

Option B: 8x+1 has the steepest slope

You make a $15 payment on your loan of $500 at the end of each month

lara [203]

Answer:

2.8 years or 33.6 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure what your questions is, but I assume it is how long it will take to pay it off?

In a year (15*12,) you would have paid $180 of it.

x = 500/180

Therefore, it will take you approximately 2.8 years to pay off your loan, excluding interest, of course, since you did not provide that rate.

If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, choose the new equation after the expression equivalen

Alisiya [41]

The answer is 2(–4y + 13) – 3y = –29

Step 1: Express x from the second equation
Step 2: Substitute x into the first equation:

The system of equations is:
2x – 3y = –29
x + 4y = 13

Step 1:
The second equation is: x + 4y = 13
Rearrange it to get x: x = - 4y + 13

Step 2:
The first equation is: 2x – 3y = –29
The second equation is: x = - 4y + 13
Substitute x from the second equation into the first one:
2(-4y + 13) - 3y = -29

Therefore, the second choice is correct.
