M=-5/2 is your answer!

To find the slope, get the equation into slope intercept form:

y=mx+b

m stands for slope
b stands for y-intercept

To get your equation like this, subtract 5x from each side.

2y=-8-5x
2y=-5x-8

Finally, divide each side by 2

y=-5/2x-4

Your slope would be -5/2

Find the other x-intercept for the parabola defined by this equation y=2x2+3-2​
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

( \frac{1}{2}, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is

2x² + 3x - 2 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 2 × - 2 = - 4 and sum = + 3

The factors are + 4 and - 1

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 4x - x - 2 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x + 2) - 1 (x + 2) ← factor out (x + 2) from each term

(x + 2)(2x - 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x = \frac{1}{2}

The x- intercepts are (- 2, 0 ), ( \frac{1}{2}, 0 )

Simplify to create an equivalent expression.<br> 8(a+2)+2(2+3a)=
Alchen [17]

Answer:

14a + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

8(a + 2) + 2(2 + 3a)

expand the bracket

8a + (8*2) + (2*2) + (2*3a)

8a + 16 + 4 + 6a

bring like terms together

8a + 6a + 16 + 4

14a + 20

Pls help me<br>I m giving brainliest <br>​
navik [9.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

the general line equation format is

y = ax + b

a is the slope or gradient of the line. it is the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change".

b is the y-intercept, the y value when x = 0. we get this by putting one point into the equation and solve for b.

(i)

A (3, 5)

B (5, 9)

x changes by +2 (from 3 to 5).

y changes by +4 (from 5 to 9).

so, the slope (or gradient) is +4/+2 = 2

(ii)

the semi-finished equation is

y = 2x + b

let's use A to get b :

5 = 2×3 + b = 6 + b

b = -1

and the full equation is

y = 2x - 1

(iii)

for point (4, k) we get

k = 2×4 - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7
