Answer:

b / (b - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Litres of water held by bucket = b

Jar holds 8 litres fewer than bucket; hence, litres held by jar = b - 8

The number of times bucket can hold than jar is :

Litres held by bucket / litres held by jar

b / (b - 8)

Can u show an example of how to convert a linear equation to standard form for algebra 1 9th grade.
notsponge [240]

Answer:

-4x+y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say you have y=4x+7 (linear equation)

to conver it to standard form you've got to make it Ax+By=C

so you minus the 4x and you should have -4x+y=7 for your standard form

A given line has the equation 10x + 2y = −2.
worty [1.4K]

The equation is \boxed{ \ y = - 5x + 12 \ or \ y = 12 - 5x} \ }

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

This case asking the end result in the form of a slope-intercept.

<u>Step-1: find out the gradient. </u>

10x + 2y = -2

We isolate the y variable on the left side. Subtract both sides by 10x, we get:

2y = - 10x - 2  

Divide both sides by two

y = -5x -1

The slope-intercept form is \boxed{ \ y = mx + c \ }, with the coefficient m as a gradient. Therefore, the gradient is m = -5.

If you want a shortcut to find a gradient from the standard form, implement this:  

\boxed{ \ ax + by = k \rightarrow m = - \frac{a}{b} \ }

10x + 2y = −2 ⇒ a = 10, b = 2

\boxed{m = - \frac{10}{2} \rightarrow m = -5}

<u>Step-2:</u> the conditions of the two parallel lines

The gradient of parallel lines is the same \boxed{ \ m_1 = m_2 \ }. So \boxed{m_1 = m_2 = -5}.

<u>Final step:</u> figure out the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the parallel line to the given line and passes through the point (0, 12)

We use the point-slope form.

\boxed{ \ \boxed{ \ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)} \ }

Given that

  • m = -5
  • (x₁, y₁) = (0, 12)  

y - 12 = - 5(x - 0)

y - 12 = - 5x

After adding both sides by 12, the results is \boxed{ \ y = - 5x + 12 \ or \ y = 12 - 5x} \ }

<u>Alternative steps </u>

Substitutes m = -5 and (0, 12) to slope-intercept form \boxed{ \ y = mx + c \ }

12 = -5(0) + c

Constant c is 12 then arrange the slope-intercept form.

Similar results as above, i.e. \boxed{ \ y = - 5x + 12 \ or \ y = 12 - 5x} \ }

<u>Note: </u>

\boxed{Standard \ form: ax + by = c, with \ a > 0}

\boxed{Point-slope \ form: y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)}

\boxed{Slope-intercept \ form: y = mx + k}
