Answer:

The slope is 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

–3x + 5y = 10

Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Add 3x to each side

5y = 3x+10

Divide by 5

y = 3/5 x + 10/2

The slope is 3/5

What part of 3 12 is 1/2 ? I need this asap

Aliun [14]

I assume you are asking one of three things, so I will answer all of them.

if you are asking what is 1/2 of 312, then multiply 312 by 1/2. 312 is really just 312/1, so
$312 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{312}{1} \times \frac{1}{2}$
we multiply fractions by multiplying straight across
$\frac{312 \times 1}{1 \times 2} = \frac{312}{2} = 156$

if you were asking what part of 3 1/2 is 1/2 then we have to recognize what 3 1/2 is as an improper fraction. to do this, we convert 3 into halves. how many halves of pizza are there in 3 whole pizzas? 6. so we have 6 halves and one half, which is a total of 7 halves.
$\frac{6}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2}$
now, we do the same thing as the first problem
$\frac{7}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7 \times 1}{2 \times 2} = \frac{7}{4}$

if you were asking what is half of 3.12, then we convert 1/2 to a decimal and multiply
$\frac{1}{2} = .5 \\ 3.12 \times .5 = 1.56$

Two objects are moving along separate linear paths where each path is described by postion, d, and time, t. The variable d is me

weqwewe [10]

The first equation is:
d = 2.5 t + 2.2
For the parallel line :
m = 2.5.
It is passing through: t = 0, d = 1
d = m t + b
1 = 2.5 * 0 + b
b = 1
Answer:
A ) d = 2.5 t + 1
