Answer: If the original equation is y = 3x -4, the slope is 3.

Any equation of a line parallel to the line y = 3x -4 will have a slope of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In slope-intercept form, y =mx + b the coefficient of x, m is the slope.

Here 3 is that value.

It is very unusual to have two equal signs in a question about slope.

I am not sure what to do with the =8y + 1

Is this supposed to be another equation in the system, missing a term?

Answer:

13.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First you know there are 5 students and 5 teachers, for each student it costs 6.25 and for every teacher it cost 1.50. So 5 teachers x 1.50= 7.5. 5 students x 1.25 =6.25. 7.5 +6.25= 13.75

A certain right triangle has area 30 in. squared . one leg of the triangle measures 1 in. less than the hypotenuse. let x repres

Brut [27]

A) The length of the longer leg is x-1

b) Based on the area, the other leg is 2*30/(x -1). Based on the Pythagorean theorem, the other leg is √(x^2 -(x -1)^2).

c) Equating the two expressions for the shorter leg, we have
.. 60/(x -1) = √(2x -1)
.. 3600/(x -1)^2 = (2x -1)
.. (2x -1)(x^2 -2x +1) = 3600
.. 2x^3 -5x^2 +4x -3601 = 0

d) There is one positive real root, at x=13. A graphical solution works well.

The three sides of the triangle are 5 in, 12 in, 13 in.
