m=-(5/4)

From left to right, (1,3) is first and then comes (5,-2). Always remember when finding slopes without equations, the rule is RISE over RUN, to the numerator and denominator, respectively.

The y value of the second coordinates becomes negative which is unlike the y value in the first coordinates, which means our slope is downward, meaning it has a negative sign in front.

In every slope, there’s a numerator, being the rise, and a denominator, being the run.

To find the rise, we must look at the y values. Starting at 3 going to -2 has a space of 5 units, making that our numerator.

To find the run, the first x value is 1 and the second is 5, making a space of 4, which is out denominator.

With these two numbers and the negative sign, we get -(5/4) as our slope.

Which of the following equations is equivalent to x - y = 5?
Masja [62]

Answer:

6x-6y=30

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete options are</em></u>

a) x - 2y = 30

b) 4x - 3y = 30

c) 3x - 4y = 30

d) 6x - 6y = 30

The given equation is

x-y=5

<u>Verify option d</u>

we have

6x-6y=30

Divide by 6 both sides

(6x-6y)/6=30/6

\frac{6x}{6}-\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{30}{6}

x-y=5

therefore

x-y=5  and 6x-6y=30 are equivalent
