Answer 1

Slope?

Answer 2

Arrange the eq first

Formula is
y=mx+b

Answer 3

Do this problem really have an answer?

Answer 4

Ya...it's equation of a slope.

Answer 5

Ok

Answer 6

7x + 2y = 5
2y=-7x+5

Answer 7

Now divide 2 with -7x and 5

Answer 8

y=-7x/2+5/2

Slope is -7x/2

Thanks a lot Uri

Answer 11

Five-sixths of a number is -60. What is the number?

Answer 12

-60*5/6

Answer 13

@uri @ValB78 : The factor of x is not included in the slope. The slope is m, and the equation of the line is y= mx + b. In this problem, m=-7/2.

Answer 14

Five-sixths of a number is -60. What is the number?

Translate that into an equation, then solve.\[\frac{5}{6}x=-60 \implies x=\frac{6}{5}(-60)=-72\]
