Answer:
3 gallons per mile, slope of 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many gallons the train uses per mile, look at the point (50,150). If you know that the train used 150 gallons to travel 50 miles, do 150/50 to get an answer of 3 gallons per mile.
For the second part, you know that as x increases by 1 (miles traveled) y (gallons) increases by 3, so therefore the slope is 3. You can also check this value by plugging in the points (150,450) and (50,150) into the 
x - 2 + x + 4 + x - 2 + 4 - 4 = x + 3 + x + 4 + x + 5
4x + 4 = 3x + 12
4x - 3x = 12 - 4
x = 8
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the slope of the given line in this two way:
1) the faster is calculate -a/b where a is the number the multiply x and b is the number the multiply y. In this case we have -1/3
2) the second method is rewrite the equation in slope intercept form and find the therm that multiply x
3y = -x-15
y = -1/3x - 5
Also in this case we have -1/3
Two perpendicular lines have the the product of the their slope that is -1
So the slope that we are finding is 3
In fact = 3 x -1/3 = -1
P3.7 = 12.21 (p × 3.7 = 12.21)
p÷3.7 = 12.21÷3.7 (p÷3.7 cancels out p×3.7 and leaves you left with the equation p = 12.21÷3.7)
p=3.3
Answer:
x = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
move all the constants (numbers without variables) to one side to get
-4x = 42 - 2
-4x = 40
multiply by -1
4x = -40
divide by 4
x = -10
