What is being done to the variable in the equation negative 5M = -40

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, it's important to understand that the number 5 is the coefficient on the variable M. This just means that -5 "times" M equals -40. So, whenever you see a number next to a variable, it means multiplication.

If we were to solve, we would just divide both sides of the equation by 5. On the left the 5's cancel and on the right, -40 divided by 5 is -8.

Answer 2

Answer: Answer: m=8

To solve this, we would have to get m by itself. Since m is being multiplied by -5, you would have to divide -5 on both sides to get m alone.

-5m=-40
/-5 /-5
_______
m=8

Write a linear function that passes through (1,5) and (2,15)

Answers

Simple,

using $(y1-y2)/(x1-x2) =m (slope)$

find your slope...

$(5-15)/(1-2) = (-10)/(-1)=10$

thus, 10=m (slope)

Now, using y=mx+b to find your equation, plug in what you know...

Use any of the 2 coordinates.. (1,5)

5= 10(1)+b

5=10+b
-10 -10

-5=b

Thus, the equation to your line is...

y=10x-5.
