To find the slope from an equation, solve the equation for y.
The equation will have the form y = mx + b, called the slope-intercept form.
Then m = slope.
Let's solve your equation for y.
Subtract 2x from both sides.
Divide both sides by 7.
Now compare the equation above to y = mx + b.
m is the number that multiplies x, and it is the slope.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We must graph y + 2 = 2(x + 3).
Rewriting this as y + 2 = 2x + 6, and then as y = 2x + 4, makes graphing easier. This y = 2x + 4 has a slope of 2 (or 2/1) and a y-intercept of (0, 4).
Plot a black dot at (0, 4).
Now, with your pencil point on (0, 4), move the point 1 unit to the right, to (1, 4), and then move it 2 units up (from (1, 4) to (1, 6). Plot a black dot at (1, 6).
Finally, draw a straight line through the two points you've plotted.
Answer:
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 is equivalent to 2/8, but not with 1/8.
