Find the slope of the line 2x-10y=20

1 answer:

5 0

Okay, so write it as 2x - 10y - 20 = 0
divide both sides by 2:

x - 5y - 10 = 0

We can ignore the -10 because that is not affecting the gradient of the line, just where it crosses the y axis. This leaves us with x-5y=0 or x = 5y this means that as x increases by 1, y increases by 5, so the gradient is 5.

At the dog show,there 4 times as many boxers as spaniels. If there are a total of 30 dogs, how many dogs are spaniels? (help!!)

aalyn [17]

Let x represent the number of spaniels

4x + x = 30
combine like terms

5x = 30
divide each side by 5

x = 6

There are 6 spaniels.
