-48 = 2x - 8y
-24 = x - 4y
4y = x + 24
y = (1/4)x + 6

Slope of the line
1/4

The general equation of a line is written as:

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We need to write the equation given above in that said form to identify the slope.

–48 = 2x − 8y
(8y = 2x + 48)1/8
y = 1/4x + 6

Therefore, the slope is 1/4.

Suppose you are asked to find the area of a rectangle that is 2.1-cmcm wide by 5.6-cmcm long. Your calculator answer would be 11

Answer:

12 square cm correct to 2 significant figures

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Rectangle = L X B = 2.1 X 5.6 = 11.76 square cm

To round your result to 2 significant figure, we start counting from the left from the first non-zero digit.

The first two digits are 11 but because the number after is 7 (greater than 4), we round up to 12.

11.76 square cm = 12 square cm correct to 2 significant figures

It is given that ️PQR & ️UVW are congruent to each other. According to CPCT, the corresponding angles in 2 triangles willl have the same measure. So, ∠R = ∠W, i.e, (10x - 18)° = 8x°

$\mathfrak{10x - 18 = 8x}$
