The equation of a line is y = 1.5x − 2. what are its slope and y-intercept?

  The slope of the line is 1.5 and the y-intercept is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given that the equation of a straight line is as follows :

We are to find the slope and y-intercept of the given line.

We know that

the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given by

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept of the line.

From equation (i), we have

Comparing the above equation with the slope-intercept form, we get

slope, m = 1.5   and   y-intercept, c = -2.

Thus, the slope of the line is 1.5 and the y-intercept is -2.

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
