Answer: m = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation: To find the slope of the line, we would first put the equation in y = mx + b form to get y by itself on the left side.
So divide both sides by 2 to get y = 1/2x - 4.
Now the slope is the coefficient of the x term which is 1/2.
This is a positive slope.
Does this mean how to write it? If so, then it is written:
X= the number

Answer:
i
Step-by-step explanation:
it is an imaginary number
Let c and n represent the numbers of pencil and pen boxes, respectively
.. 3c +2n = 6.00
.. 2c +4n = 8.00
You can halve the second equation and subtract it from the first to get
.. (3c +2n) -(c +2n) = 6.00 -4.00
.. 2c = 2.00
.. c = 1.00
Then
.. 1.00 +2n = 4.00 . . . . . half the original second equation with c filled n
.. 2n = 3.00
.. n = 1.50
A box of pencils costs $1.00; a box of pens costs $1.50.
