Answer: 3

Explanation: The equation in this problem is written in slope intercept form which is more commonly known as y = mx + b form.

The m or the coefficient of the x-term represents slope and the b or the constant term represents the y-intercept.

Looking back at our original equation which is y = 3x - 5, notice that the 3 is where the m goes in y = mx + b form.

So the slope of this line will be 3.

Answer:

The y intercept and the slope are given in the equation. y=mx+b is slope-intercept form. mx is the slope and b is the y intercept. so in y=3x-5, 3x is the slope and -5 is the y intercept (what y is when x is zero).

Answer:

A can paint in 3days and B in 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we were told

Person A can paint the neighbors house 2 times as fast as Person B

Let A only paint the neighbors house in X days

Let B only paint the neighbors house in 2X days

If we express the given information from the question in terms of fraction we have,

1/X + 1/2X = 1/2

3/2X = 1/2

if we cross multiply we have

6= 2X

X= 6/2

X= 3

Then A can paint the house in 3 days and B in 2(3)= 6days.

Graph this equation y=7/2x-2

Ludmilka [50]

To find the slope and y intercept, use the y=mx+b formula where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
y=mx+b

Pull the values of m and b using the y=mx+b formula.
m=7/2,b=−2 where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
