Answer:
The slope is 3/2 and the y intercept is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to write in the form
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
-3x+2y = 8
Add 3x to each side
-3x+3x+2y = 3x+8
2y = 3x+8
Divide each side by 2
2y/2 = 3x/2 + 8/2
y = 3/2x +4
The slope is 3/2 and the y intercept is 4
Answer:
The eighth of an inch scale measures more precisely.
Step-by-step explanation:
An eighth of an inch means that one inch is divided into 8 equal lengths on the scale i.e. the minimum length that can be measured is 
inch.
Again a fourth of an inch means that one inch is divided into 4 equal lengths on the scale i.e. the minimum length that can be measured is 
inch.
Therefore, the eighth of an inch scale measures more precisely as it can measure more small measurements. (Answer)
Answer:
You need to solve for one variable in each equation and the substitute that in for the second equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Solve for y in the second equation
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume your system is ...
Dividing <em>the </em><em>second equation</em> by 3 gives ...
-3x +y = 1
so an expression for y without fractions can be found by <em>solving for y</em>, that is, by adding 3x:
y = 3x +1
_____
<em>Comment on alternate solution</em>
We'd be tempted to solve the first equation for -9x and substitute for that.
-9x = 10 -4y
(10 -4y) +3y = 3 . . . . . substitute for -9x
-y = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 10
y = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by -1
