Answer:

m=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

So our equation to find the slope is:

       y₂-y₁

m=   -------

       x₂-x₁

(1,-4) is our first coordinate pair, which means that we will put them like this:

1=x₁

-4=y₁

(5,-8) is our second coordinate pair, which means that we will put them like this:

5=x₂

-8=y₂

We can substitute these numbers into the original equation:

     -8-(-4)

m= ---------

       5-1

Then we can simplify::

-8+4     -4

------- = ---- =  -1

 4         4

m=-1

Answer: y= -1x+b, or -x+b

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is 1 because you have to plug in the formula, y2-y1/x2-x1.  -8-(-4)/5-1. This is equal to -4/4, which is -1.

Reduce the ratio to its lowest form. 72:8​
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

9:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).  

The GCF of 72 and 8 is 8  

Divide both terms by the GCF, 8:

72 ÷ 8 = 9

8 ÷ 8 = 1  

The ratio 72 : 8 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 8 :  

72 : 8 = 9 : 1  

Therefore:

72 : 8 = 9 : 1

Why is 3÷0.5 is 6, why is it?​
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A quick way to divide by 0.5 or ½ is to double the number (or multiply number by 2). The reason for this is that two halves go into a whole.

10. Kim gets $7 per hour and gets charged $1 for gloves

Use y to represent her pay and x to represent hours worked.

The equation is y = 7x - 1 because she gets 7 times x hours and there is a minus 1 because of the charge of gloves.

11. The table shows that each increasing hour, 8$ is added. Therefore we need to find the bonus that Kit receives just for showing up. This is when hours equals 0. If 3 hours is 27$ pay, then 2 hours is 19$ pay, 1 hour is 11$ pay and 0 hours is 3$ pay. We find that there is a 3$ bonus just for showing up.

Therefore the equation is y = 8x + 3

12. At x = 0, y = 2 so the y-intercept is 2. The slope is going down 4 and right one which means the slope is -4. The y-intercept is b and the slope is m. If we plug these values into the equation y = mx + b we get:

y = -4x + 2

13. At x = 0, y = -3 so the y-intercept is -3. The slope is going up 1 and right 4 which means the slope is 1/4. The y-intercept is b and the slope is m. If we plug these values into the equation y = mx + b we get:

y = 1/4 x - 3

4(2m-5)=2(3m-4)-6m what is the value of M
Schach [20]

Answer:

\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2x - 5) = 2(3x - 4) - 6x =   \\  8x - 20 = 6x - 8 - 6x = \\   8x = 20 - 6  \\  \frac{8x}{8}  =  \frac{20 - 8}{8}  \\  x =  \frac{3}{2}

hope its clear ♡
