Answer:

$slope = - \frac{7}{8}$

y- intercept= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation such that it is in the form of y=mx+c. This form is known as the slope-intercept form, and m is the gradient while c is the y-intercept.

7x +8y= 8

8y= -7x +8

Divide by 8 on both sides:

$y = - \frac{7}{8} x + 1$

Thus, the slope is $- \frac{7}{8}$ and the y-intercept is 1.

Another way to find the y-intercept is to substitute x= 0 into the equation since the y-intercept occurs at x= 0.

7x +8y= 8

When x= 0,

7(0) +8y= 8

8y= 8

y= 8 ÷8

y= 1

Thus, the y-intercept occurs at y= 1 or the coordinate (0, 1).

Note: slope and gradient have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably

Answer:

Step 4 - Reason 4: INVALID

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is a typical case of solving an algebraic expression of one uknown variable, which here is denoted with $x$ .

Let us first rewrite all information denoted in the question as follow:

Given: $\frac{4}{2}x-10=30$

Step 1: $\frac{4}{2}x-10=30$ Reason 1: Given

Step 2: $\frac{4}{2}x-10+10=30+10$ Reason 2: Addition Property of Equality

Step 3: $\frac{4}{2}x=40$ Reason 3: Simplify

Step 4: $\frac{4}{2}x*\frac{2}{4}=40*\frac{2}{4}$ Reason 4: Division Property of Equality

Step 5: $x=20$ Reason 5: Simplify

Having obtained all solution steps we can conclude the following:

Step 1 - Reason 1: Valid because this is our given equation to be solved

Step 2 - Reason 2: Valid because this is a typical first step in such equations to eliminate our constants from the side (here the Left Hand Side) and have only our Uknown variables (in this case $x$ ).

Step 3 - Reason 3: Valid because we just compute the addition/subtractions on each side to simplify the expression

Step 4 - Reason 4: INVALID because at this point we already have one Unknown variable on the left and one constant on the right. So all we have to do is simplify the expression as it is. So here instead we should actually have:

$\frac{4}{2}x=40$ ⇔ $4x=2*40$ ⇔ $4x=80$ ⇔ $x=\frac{80}{4}$ ⇔ $x=20$
