Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
If an expression is not dependent on x, it simplified form must not contain x. To show that this is the case for (a) and (b) we need to simplify them and assess:
(a)

Indeed, does not depend on x!
And (b)

Again, does not depend on x.
Slope is also known as rise over run -

Here, we have the slope

. This means that the rise is

and the run is

. Since both values are positive, we can say that we go up one and we go right four. When we plot this on a graph (the graph is attached), we get the same exact formula we found. **In the graph, I plotted the line

**. Hope this helped!
Answer:
6/5m
or
1 1/5m
Step-by-step explanation:
5 - 3 4/5 = x
5/1 - 19/5 = x
5/1(5/5) - 19/5 = x
25/5 - 19/5 = x
25/5 - 19/5 = 6/5
x = 6/5 or 1 1/5
None of the above, it's a hard one alright!
