We need to put this equation in y = mx + b form because in this form, the slope will be in the m position and the y intercept will be in the b position. So basically, we solve for y.
6x - 5y = 15 ....subtract 6x from both sides
-5y = -6x + 15...divide both sides by -5
(-5/-5)y = (-6/-5)x + (15/-5)...simplify
y = 6/5x - 3
y = mx + b...remember, m is ur slope and b is ur y int
y = (6/5)x + (-3).....ur slope(m) = 6/5 and ur y int (b) = -3
Answer:4/5 is less than 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there is a smaller percent missing for 5/6 then 4/5.
-2/3 - 5/6
We need common denominators so, since 3 can go into 6, we only need to multiply the first fraction by 2.
= -2 x 2 / 3x2 - 5/6
= -4 / 6 - 5/6
We only subtract the numbers that are in the numerators,
= -4-5 / 6
= -9/6
Both nine and six are divisible by 3, so to put into lowest terms...
=-9÷3 / 6÷3
= -3/2 <--- Final Answer
The answer to this question is that the trains will meet after 3 hours.
We can work this out by considering that is the closing speed of the two
trains is (50+60=)110 miles per hour, then this must mean that the
combined distance that the trains need to travel before they meet is 330
miles. If the time that is taken to travel 330 miles at 110 miles per
hour, then you simply need to divide 330/110 to find your answer - 3
hours.
Slope intercept form:
y = mx + b
Where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
By looking at the graph, we can see that the line cuts at 1/2 on the y-axis, therefore eliminating option D.
So now we have:
y = mx + 1/2Next, we'll find the slope.
Plug the coordinates into the formula.
So our slope is 5/8 and the y-intercept is 1/2.
Option A is the answer.
