8x−6y=1 what is the slope of the line

Mathematics
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

m = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Two ways to do this problem.  

Method 1   change the                          Method 2   If a linear equation is in

equation to slope-intercept form            standard form, ax =by = c then

8x - 6y = 1                                                  the slope = -a/b

-6y = -8x + 1                                                 In 8x - 6y = 1  a = 8 and b = -6

y = (-8x)/-6 +1/-6                                          So m = - (8)/-6 = 8/6 = 4/3

m = -8/-6= 4/3

Note:  Method 2 only works if the equation is in standard form.

11) -x + y = -1 ; 2x - y = 0
y = -1 + x ; 2x - (-1+x) = 0 ⇒ 2x + 1 - x = 0 ⇒x = -1 
y = -1 + (-1) ⇒ y = -2

12) -2x + y = -20 ; 2x + y = 48
y = -20 + 2x ; 2x + (-20 + 2x) = 48 ⇒ 2x -20 + 2x = 48 ⇒ 4x = 48 + 20
                      4x = 68 ⇒ x = 68/4 ⇒ x = 17
y = -20 + 2(17) ⇒ y = -20 + 34 ⇒ y = 14

13) 3x -y = -2 ; -2x + y = 3
y = 3 + 2x ; 3x - (3 + 2x) = -2 ⇒ 3x - 3 - 2x = -2 ⇒ x = -2 + 3 ⇒ x = 1
y = 3 + 2(1) ⇒ y = 3 + 2 ⇒ y = 5

14) x - y = 4 ; x - 2y = 10
x = 4 + y ; (4 + y) - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 + y - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 - y = 10 
                  ⇒ -y = 10 - 4 ⇒ -y = 6 ⇒  y = -6
x = 4 + (-6) ⇒ x = 4 - 6 ⇒ x = -2

15) x + 2y = 5 ; 3x + 2y = 17
x = 5 - 2y ; 3(5-2y) + 2y = 17 ⇒ 15 - 6y + 2y = 17 ⇒ -4y = 17 - 15
               ⇒ -4y = 2 ⇒ y = -2/4 ⇒ y = -1/2
x = 5 - 2(-1/2) ⇒ x = 5 + 2/2 ⇒ x = 5 + 1 ⇒ x = 6

This is the third time I have asked this question. Someone please answer! Brainlist IF possible. Use the graph to write a linear
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Use the graph to write a linear function that relates y to x. The points lie on a line. Find the slope and y-intercept of the line. Because the line crosses the y-axis at (0, −3), the y-intercept is −3.w

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three standard forms for linear functions y = f(x):

f(x) = mx + b (The "slope-intercept" form),

y - yo = m(x - x0) or, equivalently, f(x) = y0 + m(x - x0) (The "point-slope" or "Taylor" form), and.

Ax + By = C (The "general form") which defines y implicitly as a function of x as long as B 0.

If a = 12 and 120% of a is equal to 80\% of bthen what is a + b ?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The answer is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find 120% of a (12).

\frac{12}{1}  \times  \frac{120}{100}  = 14.4

Therefore; 14.4 is 80% of b, and we are trying to find 100% of b

14.4 = 80\% \\ x = 100\%

we do not know what is 100% therefore we call it *x*. In order to find this unknown value *x* we cross multiply.

14.4 \times 100\% = 80\% \times x

This is the same as saying;

14.4  \times 1 = x \times  \frac{4}{5}

100% percent would be 1 because it is the whole number we are trying to find. The 80% would be 4/5. To get 4/5 you can simply break down 80/100 ( this is 80% as a fraction).

so the new equation is: 14.4= 4/5x

We divide both sides by 4/5. Then we will get x tobe equal to 18. Therefore b is 18. We were asked to find (a + b) so.<em> </em><em>1</em><em>8</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>30</em>
