Answer:

- \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope (gradient) and c the y- intercept )

Given

2y = - 3x - 8 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = - \frac{3}{2} x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with gradient = - \frac{3}{2}

Lance and Alex have 70 pencils. Lance has 4 times as many pencils as Alex. Alex's pencils are shared equally among 2 children. H
gogolik [260]


let l = lance, and a = alex.

so: l + a = 70

and l = 4a

Putting the value for l in the first equation:

4a +a = 70

5a = 70

a = 14.

So Alex has 14 pencils. And Lance has (70-14) 56 pencils.

And if each child gets half of Alex' pencils, then each child will have 7 pencils.
