Answer:

m=2 and b=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is organized in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b. In this form, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

When given the equation, y=2x-8, we can see that 2 is in the place of m and -8 is in the place of b. The reason the y-intercept isn't 8 is that y=2x-8 can be written as y=2x+(-8) since y=mx+b involves addition. Therefore, the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -8.

m=2 and b=-8

I hope this helps!

What is the solution of x-1/1-x < 0?

kykrilka [37]

Option C is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the solution of $\frac{x-1}{1-x}$

The given inequality becomes undefined when x = 1 because the denomiator is: 1-x and if x = 1 then it becomes 1-1 = 0 and anything divided by zero is undefined.

So, all values other than 1 are included in the solution of the given inequality.

So, solution is: x<1 or x>1 but x≠1

So, Option C is correct because all numbers are included in number line except 1. An unfilled circle on 1 shows that it is not included in the solution. Rest of numbers are included.

Option C is correct option.

if the sum of the first 60 positive integers is s, what is the sum of the first 120 integers in terms of s? a. 2s 3600 b. s^2 36

kvasek [131]

For the first 60 positive integers, a = 1, n = 60, l = 60.
Sn = n/2(a + l)
s = 60/2(1 + 60) = 30(61)

For the next 60 positive integer, a = 61, n = 60, l = 120
Sum = 60/2(61 + 120) = 30(61 + 120) = 30(61) + 30(120) = s + 3600

Sum of first 120 positive integers = s + s + 3600 = 2s + 3600
