Answer:
1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the slope of a line given two points by using the following
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= ( 3-0)/(7 - -8)
= ( 3-0)/(7+8)
= 3/15
= 1/5
If we multiply the top equation by -4 we can get rid of the x so:
-4x+20y=-12
4x-4y=12
Add these up
16y=0
Y=0
X=3
Answer:
the second one for #4 and the third one for #5
Step-by-step explanation:
4. The sum of x and y is 24, so x+y = 24. The difference is 15, so x-y = 15, or
y-x=15 (they didn't specify which was which). Therefore, A, C, and D are correct, so x = 15-y is the answer (x = 15-y is the same as x+y = 15, which is false).
5.
Matt = 6 apple pies + 4 lemon pies and he got 80 dollars.
Ming = 6 apple pies + 5 lemon pies and he got 94 dollars.
If apple pie is "a" and lemon is "l":
6a + 4l = 80
6a + 5l = 94,
so C is the answer
First, let's put this in Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
4y - 2x = 24 Add 2x to both sides
4y = 2x + 24 Divide both sides by 4
y = (1/2)x + 6
Now that we're in slope-intercept we can easily find the y and x intercepts/
b = 6, so the y-intercept equals 6. Plug zero in for x to confirm!
Now we plug 0 in for y to find the x intercept:
0 = (1/2)x + 6 Subtract 6 from both sides
-6 = (1/2) x Multiply both sides by 2
-12 = x
The x intercept is -12
In Conlusion:
x-intercept = -12
y- intercept = 6
