Or you can do the easy way
convert to slope intercept
y=mx+b
m=slope
get 1y all by itself
8x-4y=8
minus 8x both sides
-4y=-8x+8
divide both sides by -4
y=2x-2
y=mx+b
slope is 2
the hack way is
for an equatoin in standard form
ax+by=c
slope=-a/b
slope=2
if you want to graph 2 points and do it the long way, here it is
if x=0, y=-2
if y=0, x=1
(0,-2) and (1,0)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope=(0-(-2))/(1-0)=2/1=2
slope is 2
Answer:
55
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number=x
5x=7x-110
7x-5x=110
2x=110
x=110/2=55
Answer:
5 pigs
Step-by-step explanation:
A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks. Altogether there are 42 legs. How many pigs are there?
Let us represent:
Number of pigs = x
Number of ducks = y
Our system of equations is given as:
A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks.
x + y = 16...... Equation 1
x = 16 - y
Altogether there are 42 legs.
Ducks have 2 legs(feet) , pigs have 4 legs,
4x + 2y = 42..... Equation 2
We substitute
16 - y for x in Equation 2
Hence:
4(16 - y) + 2y = 42
64 - 4y + 2y = 42
Collect like terms
- 4y + 2y = 42 - 64
-2y =- 22
y = -22/-2
y = 11 ducks
Solving for x.
x = 16 - y
x = 16 - 11
x = 5 pigs
Therefore, we have 5 pigs
