Y=mx+c isn't an equation to solve. It's the slope-intercept formula for graphing lines.
y and x are the variables, and m and c are the constants.
As an example, the line y=4x+2 looks like this:

-assuming you meant y=mx+b-

To find slope, you first pick 2 coordinates and plug them into y2-y1 divided by x2-x1. After that you can pick a coordinate and multiply by the slope you got and if necessary, add a certain number to get the y-coordinate. Then, plug your values into y=mx+b with m for slope and b for y-intercept. IF YOU ARE JUST GIVEN AN EQUATION, change the equation into slope intercept form and just answer for m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.

It can be solved by factoring or taking the root of both sides.

4. What is the system of equations that describes the following graph?

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The system of inequalities is

$y$

$y>0.25x$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the equation of the dashed line with negative slope

The line passes through the points

(0,-2) and (-2,0)

Find the slope

$m=(0+2)/(-2-0)=-1$

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=-1\\b=-2$

substitute

$y=-x-2$

The solution of the inequality is the shaded area below the dashed line

therefore

The equation of the inequality A is

$y$

step 2

Find the equation of the dashed line with positive slope

The line passes through the points

(0,0) and (4,1)

Find the slope

$m=(1-0)/(4-0)=0.25$

Find the equation of the line (direct variation)

$y=kx$

we have

$k=0.25$

substitute

$y=0.25x$

The solution of the inequality is the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

The equation of the inequality B is

$y>0.25x$

therefore

The system of inequalities is

$y$

$y>0.25x$

Yes - they have to be similar. Since they are using the same line as the hypotenuse, the ratio of the other two sides are in the same ratio (ie, the slope of the line), the 3 inner angles will be the same. Thus, the triangles will be similar.
