Answer:

Slope m = 3/2

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Equality Properties

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope
b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

3x - 2y - 6 = 0

Step 2: Rewrite

Find slope-intercept form

Subtract 3x on both sides: -2y - 6 = -3x
Add 6 on both sides: -2y = -3x + 6
Divide -2 on both sides: y = 3/2x - 3

Step 3: Break Function

Identify Parts.

Slope m = 3/2

y-intercept b = -3

Identify the slope and y-intercept of each of the following lines. Then graph each line.

viktelen [127]

First rewrite the equation in slope intercept form

slope intercept form: y = mx + b [ where m is slope and b is y-intercept ]

$\rightarrow \sf 8y = -2x+32$

$\rightarrow \sf y =\dfrac{ -2x+32}{ 8}$

$\rightarrow \sf y =\dfrac{ -2x}{ 8} + \dfrac{32}{8}$

$\rightarrow \sf y =\dfrac{ -1}{ 4}x + 4$

comparing with y = mx + b

slope: -1/4 and y-intercept: 4

x-intercept: ( then y will be 0 )

$\hookrightarrow \sf -2x + 32 = 0$

$\hookrightarrow \sf -2x = -32$

$\hookrightarrow \sf x = 16$

In order to graph the line

plot x = 16 on the x-axis coordinate: (16, 0)

plot y = 4 on the y-axis coordinate: (0, 4)

Then using a scale/ruler draw a straight line through this points.

Graph:

Which one of the following characteristics of a solid is of concern to geometry?

Lyrx [107]

The question says,'which one of the following characteristics of a solid is of concern in geometry. The correct option is C. This is because, geometry is an aspect of mathematics that deals wiht shape, size and properties of solids. It involves the visual study of shape and thier sizes in different positions in space.
