Answer:

y=31x/15 < y=27x/13 < y=15x/7 < y=13x/6 < y=11x/5 < y=21x/9 (=7x/3) < y=19x/8

Step-by-step explanation:

since all equations base on a linear, simple expression of x, we can simply compare the fractions.

in general, the bigger the number at the bottom, the smaller the individual fraction. that is our first indicator.

we then notice that many fractions represent the value of 2 plus one fraction.

31/15 = 2 1/15

27/13 = 2 1/13

15/7 = 2 1/7

13/6 = 2 1/6

11/5 = 2 1/5

the only exceptions are 21/9 and 19/8

but 21/9 is actually 7/3 = 2 1/3

and fits therefore into the list above.

that leaves 19/8 = 2 3/8.

the list above can be sorted based on the single fraction at the end (remember, the bigger the number at the bottom, the smaller the value). so, from least to greatest :

2 1/15 (31/15)

2 1/13 (27/13)

2 1/7 (15/7)

2 1/6 (13/6)

2 1/5 (11/5)

2 1/3 (7/3 = 21/9)

where did now 2 3/8 fit in ?

well, 3/8 is almost 1/2 (so, relatively big), and we start our comparison with the biggest number in the list so far :

1/3 (from 2 1/3).

what is bigger - 1/3 or 3/8 ?

let's find the smallest number that can be divided by 3 and by 8. that would be 24. so now we bring both fractions to the same base of 24.

1/3 = 8/24

3/8 = 9/24

=> 3/8 > 1/3

and therefore, 19/8 is the largest value and at the end of the list.

Find the slope of the line 8x – 4y = 8\ (hint: find 2 points; then use the slope formula)
vodka [1.7K]
Or you can do the easy way

convert to slope intercept
y=mx+b
m=slope

get 1y all by itself

8x-4y=8
minus 8x both sides
-4y=-8x+8
divide both sides by -4
y=2x-2
y=mx+b
slope is 2

the hack way is
for an equatoin in standard form
ax+by=c
slope=-a/b



slope=2



if  you want to graph 2 points and do it the long way, here it is
if x=0, y=-2
if y=0, x=1
(0,-2) and (1,0)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope=(0-(-2))/(1-0)=2/1=2



slope is 2
