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

Answer:

39,096,288

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know that

The number of ways to pick 5 numbers from 45 are

$45C_5$

$\frac{45\times44\times43\times42\times41}{5\times4\times3\times2\times1}|$

= 1,221,759.

There are 32 ways to pick a gold ball so total number of ways to get 6 matching numbers is

1221759×32

= 39,096,288

irinina [24]

Answer:6

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know that the formula of a rectangular prism is length * width * height, and we know the height and width are 7 and 9, the length is the only thing that is left. The volume is 378, and so now we have:

length * 7 * 9 = 378. Dividing the 9 and 7, we get 378/(9*7). The length is 6.
