Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: Use the two points that are given to you and substitute them into the slope formula to find the answer.
m=<u><em>y2-y1/x2-x1</em></u>
m=9-5/3-1
m=4/2
Simplify the answer.
m=4/2
m=2/1
Final answer is 2.
The slope is positive meaning it is ascending (going up).

So, you have 3/4x + 5/8 = 4x. We can do this in two ways. Since fractions are harder to deal with, we can turn the fractions into whole numbers.
First we need to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) between 4 and 8, which is 8. So multiply the 3/4x by 2/2, which gives you an equivalent fraction of 6/8x.
So now we have 6/8x + 5/8 = 4x. Now multiply both sides by 8, to get rid of the denominators of the fractions. That gives us 6x + 5 = 32x. Now use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 6x from both sides giving us 5 = 26x.
Now you can use the division property of equality to divide 26 on both sides, which gives us x = 5/26.
Hope this helps. :D Feel free to ask any other questions, and if you have any questions about my explanation, don't hesitate to ask.
Slope is -2/5 and y-intercept is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Write the equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b
2x + 5y = 10
5y = -2x + 10
y = -2/5 x + 10/5
y = -2/5 x + 2
- Step 2: Find the slope and y-intercept from the equation.
Slope, m = -2/5
y-intercept, b = 2
The easiest way to solve this comparison without any unusual comparisons is to find a common denominator for the two fractions.
2/5 = 18/45
4/9 = 20/45
Since 20/45 is bigger than 18/45, we know that 4/9 is greater than 2/5
4.741
4.742
Really, you could stick any digit from 1-9 at the end of 4.74 to create your answer.
