Su has about 1/6 yards of felt left my dude/dudett
Slope=rise/run
yintercept is where the line crosses the y axis
y=mx+B
m=slope
b=yint
intercept at -3
y=mx-3
pick a point
(5,0)
x=5,y=0
0=m(5)-3
add 3
3=5m
divide 5
3/5=m
slope=3/5
y int=-3
Answer:
m = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
12 times the number is 12m
17 less than that is 12m -17.
23 less than 6 times the number is 6m-23.
These expressions are said to be the same:
12m -17 = 6m -23
6m -17 = -23 . . . . . . . . subtract 6m from both sides
6m = -6 . . . . . . . . . . add 17 to both sides
m = -1 . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 6
The value of m is -1.
