Hey there!!
How do we find slopes ?
Slope = 
We are given with two co-ordinates :
(-1,8) and (3,-4)
Hence, the slope is :

...
= -3
The slope is -3.
Hope my answer helps!
Answer:
A. x=2, y = 7.
B. (2, 7).
Step-by-step explanation:
A. You can eliminate y by subtracting the equations:
y = 8x - 9
y = 4x - 1 Subtract:
0 = 4x - 8
4x = 8
x = 8/4 = 2.
Now substitute for x in the first equation:
y = 8(2) - 9 = 7.
Check in the second equation:
y = 4x - 1
7 = 4(2) - 1 = 7. Check is OK.
B. On the graph they will intersect at the point (2, 7).
They will intersect here because the values x=2 and y=7 satisfy both the 2 equations.
L=(8/3)W = 24 ft. Solving for W, we mult. both sides of this eqn by (3/8), obtaining
W = (3/8)(24 ft) = 9 ft (answer)
Answer:
1.D)SSS
2.C.)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. There isn't any angles and there is enough info to prove that the triangles are congruent.
2.There is not enough info to determine that the triangles are congruent.
Answer:
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is written in the form y=mx+b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
When there isn't a slope, as in the line is flat and it isn't moving up or down, you wouldn't write anything for it. You would just write y equals the y-intercept (y = b).
Likewise, if the y-intercept is at (0,0), then you'd only write y equals the slope (y = mx).
Hopefully this makes sense :)
Btw, I also answered in the main comments earlier, so you can check that out as well.
