Currently the equation 6x - 2y = 18 is in standard form. Convert the standard form equation into a slope-intercept form and we can find the slope easily.

Solve for y.

6x - 2y = 18
-2y = 18 - 6x <-- Subtract 6x from each side. This is to isolate the 2y term
2y / -2 = $\frac{18 - 6x}{2}$ <-- Divide each side by 2. This it to
get rid of the 2 coefficient.
y = -9 + 3x

Rearrange the right-hand side a bit.

y = -9 + 3x becomes y = 3x - 9

Now it is in slope-intercept form.
The slope is the coefficient of the x variable.

So, 3 is the slope.

125 ft = ——— yd ———- feet a. 42 yd, 1 ft. b. 41 yd, 2 ft. c. 41 yd, 1 ft. d. 40 yd, 2 ft.

IRINA_888 [86]

<h3>Answer: B) 41 yd, 2 ft</h3>

=======================================================

Work Shown:

1 yard = 3 feet

1/3 yard = 1 foot .... divide both sides by 3

1 foot = 1/3 yard

125 feet = 125/3 yard ... multiply both sides by 125

Now let's simplify the fraction 125/3

125/3 = 41.667 approximately

125/3 = 41 + 0.667

125/3 = 41 + 2/3

So,

125/3 yards = 41 yards + 2/3 yard

We have 41 full yards, then plus an additional 2/3 of a yard

1 yard = 3 feet

2/3 yards = (2/3)*(3 feet)

2/3 yards = 2 feet

Therefore, 125/3 yd = 41 yd + 2/3 yd = 41 yd + 2 ft = 41 yd, 2 ft

In short, 125 ft = 41 yd, 2 ft
