for y=mx+b, m is slope

given y=-4x+8, -4=m=slope

slope is -4

Draw 3 distinct lines that have the same y intercept

Vanyuwa [196]

So y=mx+b
b is the y-intercept or where they cross the y-axis so just set a y-intercept and change the slope

so if y-intercept is 7
y=3x+7
y=2x+7
y=8x+7
y=-1/4x+7
and so on

Find the area of the figure will give brain illest if correct!

Travka [436]

I’m sure that the area is 80. If you do 10 times 5, that will be 50.Then if you do 6 times 5, for the upper remaining part of the figure it would be 30. So 30 plus 50 is 50. Hope this helps!

Solve for x.

Nonamiya [84]

$-\dfrac{2}{3}(3x-4)+3x=\dfrac{5}{6}\ \ \ \ |\text{use distributive property}\\\\-\dfrac{2}{\not3_1}\cdot\not3^1x+\dfrac{8}{3}+3x=\dfrac{5}{6}\\\\-2x+3x+\dfrac{8}{3}=\dfrac{5}{6}\ \ \ \ |-\dfrac{8}{3}\\\\x=\dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{8}{3}\\\\x=\dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{8\cdot2}{3\cdot2}\\\\x=\dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{16}{6}\\\\\boxed{x=-\dfrac{11}{6}}$

Other method:

$-\dfrac{2}{3}(3x-4)+3x=\dfrac{5}{6}\ \ \ \ |\cdot6\\\\2(-2)(3x-4)+18x=5\\\\-4(3x-4)+18x=5\ \ \ \ |\text{use distributive property}\\\\-12x+16+18x=5\ \ \ \ |-16\\\\6x=-11\ \ \ \ |:6\\\\\boxed{x=-\dfrac{11}{6}}$
