Answer:
The slope is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the general equation of a straight line 
Here 
is the slope of the line.
So let's get the equation of the line in the question in the same form.
Add 
to both sides: 
Add 
to both sides: 
Divide by 
to get it into the general equation: 
Now compare it to the general equation to find the value of . The value of is the coefficient of 
which we can see is
<h2>The third graph</h2><h3 /><h3>The graph has a slope of 2</h3><h3>and a y-intercept of -4</h3>
You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
Answer:
m=-1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
2-1/6-10=1/-4
-1/4 is the slope
