You would isolate the y-value: 2y=5-8x and simplify into y=-4x+2.5 and that means that the slope is -4

Well make the equation into slope intercept form: y=mx + b and whatever the coefficent is to x will be your slope

8x+2y= 5 can be written as y= (-8/2)x + (5/2) so the slope would be (-8/2)

the utility industry has 428.5 thousand jobs in 2010 and is expected to decline at an average rate of 3 thousand jobs per year f

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: 7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Initial jobs = 428.5 thousand

Average rate of declining of jobs from 2010 to 2020 = 3 thousand jobs per year

From 2010 to 2020 , there are 10 years.

Total jobs declines till 2020 = 10 x (3 thousand)

= 30 thousand (Change in jobs)

Now, utilities percent change for 2010 to 2020 : $\dfrac{change \ in \ job\ numbers}{Initial\ jobs}\times 100$

$=\dfrac{30}{428.5}\times100\\\\\approx7.00\%$

Utilities percent change for 2010 to 2020 = 7 %

Consider the following word problem. Imagine that Dr. White of the French department, Dr. Black of the English department, and D

Anestetic [448]

A word problem is used to solve problems in mathematics without the explicit use of equations initially.

<h3>What is a Word Problem?</h3>

This refers to the use of words to generate an equation that can be solved by mathematical means.

Hence, we can see that because the question is incomplete, we can infer that there is a relationship that exists between Dr. White, Dr. Black, Dr. Brown, and a woman that does not have brown hair, and equality would be used to solve it.
