As we go from (-6,6) to (9,1), x increases by 15 and y decreases by 5. Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -5/15, or m = -1/3.
Point-slope form: y-6 = (-1/3)(x+6), using data from (-6,6).
Slope-intercept form: starting with y = mx + b, substit. -6 for x, 6 for y and -1/3 for m:
6 = (-1/3)(-6) + b, or
6 = 2 + b. Then b = 4, and the equation in slope-intercept form is
y = (-1/3)x + 4.
5/12lb of dog food in each container.
This seems like a division problem so you would take (5/4) and divide it by 3 to make 3 equal groups meaning 5/12lb would be in each container.
I hope this helps, good luck!
1. 78 = 0.15x
78 / 0.15 = x
520 = x.....so 78 is 15% of 520
2. | 3x - 2 | = 8 | x + 1 | = 1
3x - 2 = 8 -(3x - 2) = 8 x + 1 = 1 -(x + 1) = 1
3x = 8 + 2 -3x + 2 = 8 x = 1 - 1 -x - 1 = 1
3x = 10 -3x = 6 x = 0 -x = 2
x = 10/3 x = -2 x = -2
ur answer is : x = -2
3. 3y - 4x + 5 = 0
3y = 4x - 5
y = 4/3x - 5/3
slope = 4/3
It is
If you have a slope (which is before the x) then it’s a linear equation
