This equation is written in standard form, so we need to change it into slope-intercept form.

3x = -y - 5

3x + y = -y + y - 5

3x + y = -5

3x - 3x + y = -5 - 3x

y = -5 - 3x

y = -3x - 5

The slope is classified as "m" in this type of equation, so, the slope is -3.

Best of Luck!

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Isolate the Y

2. once it looks like this y+3x=-5, you subtract y on both sides.

3. you get y=-3x + 5. the slope being -3.

The algebraic equation is 4(0.25)+2x=17

STEP 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

1+2x=17 or 2x+1

STEP 2: Subtract both sides

2x = 16

STEP 3: Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 16/2

x = 8

slega [8]

Answer:

15a⁴b²-20a³b³+30a²b⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

3a²-4ab+6b²

so for 5a²b²

(5a²b²)(3a²-4ab+6b²)

=15a⁴b²-20a³b³+30a²b⁴

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope. (3,5);m=-1

KIM [24]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies -1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-5=-1(x-3) \\\\\\ y-5=-x+3\implies y=-x+8$

Mrs.Gomez paid $780 for a new backyard fence. A new gate cost and additional $225. The fencing was a total of 120 feet. What was

In-s [12.5K]

I’m not sure what the gate has to do with the problem, but you should just divide 780 by 120 to get 6.5. In other words, each foot costs $6.50.
