Answer:
The slope of the equation is -4.

Explanation:
Usually, when the question asks us to find the slope of the equation, the values are organized in this formula:

y=mx+b

This formula is called slope-intercept form. Here’s what the variables mean:

y=the y axis
m= the slope of the line
x=the x axis
b=the point on the line that intercepts the y axis (the y-intercept)

And to find the slope, all we would need to do is look at what number is plugged in as “m”. However, the equation the your problem gave us isn’t organized in slope-intercept form (yet) so we’re going to have to do some maneuvering.

Firstly, simplify the equation and isolate the y variable (because it’s isolated in slip-intercept form)

y-3=-4(x-5)
Move -3 to the other side to isolate y
y=-4(x-5)+3
Multiply -4 to the parentheses
y=-4x+20+3
y=-4x+23

Now, it’s clear that -4 is in the place of the “m” variable, which is the slope. Here is a comparison:

y=mx+b
y=-4x+23

Therefore, the slope of the equation is -4.

I hope this helped! If it did, a brainliest would be much appreciated :)

A cyclist rides his bike at a rate of
docker41 [41]
15 miles per hour right so anyways that will be split by the number of minutes per hour so first there are 60 mins in an hour so its 15 divided by 60 which is 0.25 next how many miles will the cyclist travel in 15 minutes so that would mean taking the answer from the above and multiply it by 15 since you need 15 min which is 3.75 miles in 15 min hope i helped rate brainiest so i can reach next lvl! :)

The sum of reciprocals of rehman’s ages 3 years ago and 5 years from now is 1/3. Find his present age
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

His age is 7 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rehman's  present age be x years.

1 / (x - 3) + 1 /(x + 5) = 1/3

Multiply through by the LCD 3(x - 3)(x + 5):

3(x + 5) + 3(x - 3) = (x + 5)(x - 3)

3x + 15 + 3x - 9 = x^2 + 2x - 15

x^2 + 2x - 6x - 30 + 9 = 0

x^2 - 4x - 21 = 0

(x - 7)(x + 3) = 0

x = 7  (answer).
