What is the slope of the line y=3x-5

Mathematics

Marrrta [24]3 years ago

Answer: 3

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

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

Looking back at our original equation which is <em>y = 3x - 5</em>, notice that the 3 is where the <em>m</em> 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:

  133 1/3 km/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed is computed as ...

  average speed = (total distance)/(total time)

  = (80 km +120 km +200 km)/(2/3 + 1 + 1 1/3 hour) = 400 km/(3 hour)

  = 133 1/3 km/hour

Need help with number 3 inequalities with variables on both sides
Volgvan

Answer:

x ≤ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the inequality:

\displaystyle{2x-3 \leq \dfrac{x}{2}}

First, get rid of the denominator by multiplying both sides by 2:

\displaystyle{2x\cdot 2-3\cdot 2 \leq \dfrac{x}{2}\cdot 2}\\\\\displaystyle{4x-6 \leq x}

Add both sides by 6 then subtract both sides by x:

\displaystyle{4x-6+6 \leq x+6}\\\\\displaystyle{4x \leq x+6}\\\\\displaystyle{4x-x \leq x+6-x}\\\\\displaystyle{4x-x \leq 6}\\\\\displaystyle{3x \leq 6}

Then divide both sides by 3:

\displaystyle{\dfrac{3x}{3} \leq \dfrac{6}{3}}\\\\\displaystyle{x \leq 2}

Therefore, the answer is x ≤ 2

Erica can paint her room 5 hours .If she had her friend Rachel help her , they can paint the room together in 3 hours .How long
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

7 hours 30min

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

Given data

We are told that Erica can paint 1 room in 5hours

Her work rate is 1/5 room per hour

And also with the assistance of her friend they can paint 1 room in 3 hours

Hence their combined work rate is 1/3 room per hour

Step two

The combined work expression is

1/A+1/B=1/T

Where A=Erica's work rate

B=Rachael's work rate

T=combined work

1/5+1/B=1/3

1/B=1/3-1/5

1/B=5-3/15

1/B=2/15

B=15/2

B=7.5 hours

It will take Rachel 7 hours 30min to paint the room

Arianna is working two summer jobs, making $6 per hour walking dogs and making $10 per hour tutoring. In a given week, she can w
Mice21 [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number hours dog walking

y = number hours tutoring

x + y <= 11

6x + 10y >= 80

the solution is the common area below the first line and above the second line.

the first line is above the second line (due to the y-intercept of 11 vs. 8) until the crossing point.

for the crossing point we use the regular equations :

from the first we get

x = 11 - y

using this in the second

6×(11 - y) + 10y = 80

66 - 6y + 10y = 80

4y = 14

y = 14/4 = 7/2 = 3.5

x = 11 - y = 11 - 3.5 = 7.5

so, she has to do at least 3.5 hours tutoring (and then 7.5 hours dog walking) for the minimum of $80 earning, all the way up to the maximum of 11 hours tutoring (and 0 dog walking) for $110 earning.

Of the dogs at the dog show,
Olin [163]
So, let's say that all the dogs had a number of x.

then 1/12 x were the Hound Group dogs.

then, out of the Hound Group,, that is 1/12 x, 3/10 were English Foxhounds.

For this, we need to multiply the fractions:

\frac{1}{12}x* \frac{3}{10} = \frac{3}{120}x =\frac{1}{40}x

so of all the dogs at the show, the English Foxhunds were a 1/40 fraction,
