Y = mx + b is called the slope-intercept form

It is called that for a reason.

y = mx + b

m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

The equation you have is:

y = -5x + 8

Therefore,

-5 is the slope
8 is the y-intercept

So the slope of the equation y = -5x + 8 is -5

the ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 21:8:14. if the perimeter of the triangle is 215 ft, find the length of

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides of the triangle

add the parts of the ratio 21 + 8 + 14 = 43

divide the perimeter by 43 to find the value of one part of the ratio

$\frac{215}{43}$ = 5 ft ← 1 part of the ratio, hence

21 parts = 21 × 5 = 105 ft

8 parts = 8 × 5 = 40 ft

14 parts = 14 × 5 = 70 ft

the 3 sides of the triangle are 105 ft, 40 ft and 70 ft

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction is a quantity that is not a whole number. In maths, a fraction usually has a numerator and a denominator.

The numerator is the number above. While the denominator is the number below

an example of a fraction = $\frac{4}{5}$

4 is the numerator while 5 is the denominator

In this question, the numerator would be the number of times she walked to school in march(16). While the denominator would be the number of school days in March

$\frac{16}{24}$
