Solution

Let's go through each question step by step.

Question 1: Identify the slope and y-intercept in y=45x9y = \frac{4}{5}x - 9.

In the equation y=mx+by = mx + b:

  • mm (slope) = 45\frac{4}{5}
  • bb (y-intercept) = -9

Answer: m = 45\frac{4}{5}, b = -9 (First option).

Question 2: Find the slope between points (4, 10) and (7, 18).

The slope mm is calculated using the formula: m=y2y1x2x1=181074=83m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{18 - 10}{7 - 4} = \frac{8}{3}

Answer: 83\frac{8}{3} (Second option).

Question 3: Find the x-intercept of 2x+4y=282x + 4y = 28.

To find the x-intercept, set y=0y = 0: 2x+4(0)=28    2x=28    x=142x + 4(0) = 28 \implies 2x = 28 \implies x = 14 Thus, the x-intercept is (14,0)(14, 0).

Answer: (14, 0) (Fourth option).

Question 4: Is the ordered pair (3, 5) a solution for 3x+6=y3x + 6 = y?

Substituting x=3x = 3: 3(3)+6=9+6=15andy=53(3) + 6 = 9 + 6 = 15 \quad \text{and} \quad y = 5 Since 15515 \neq 5, the ordered pair is not a solution.

Answer: False.

Question 5: Identify the slope and y-intercept in y=425xy = 4 - \frac{2}{5}x.

Rewriting it in slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b: y=25x+4y = -\frac{2}{5}x + 4 Thus, m=25m = -\frac{2}{5} and b=4b = 4.

Answer: m = -25\frac{2}{5}, b = 4 (Third option).


Summary of Answers:

  1. m = 45\frac{4}{5}, b = -9
  2. 83\frac{8}{3}
  3. (14, 0)
  4. False
  5. m = -25\frac{2}{5}, b = 4
