Question

Line A: y=-1/2x+3

Answer 1

A) For the equation $y=- \frac{1}{2}x+3$, the slope is $- \frac{1}{2}$.
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is the y-intercept. This means that if $m=- \frac{1}{2}$, the slope is  $- \frac{1}{2}$.

B) Since this equation is in the same form, you just find what m is equal to.
Since $m=2$, that's the slope.

For the solution, set $y=- \frac{1}{2}x+3$ equal to $y=2x-4$, so it would be put together like this:
$y=[tex]- \frac{1}{2}x+3=2x-4\\ -\frac{1}{2}=2x-7\\ 1\frac{1}{2}x=-7\\ x=-4.66667$
So your answer is -4.667.
