Question 345427: Give the slope and -intercept for the graph of the function f(x)23-5x/6 Found 2 solutions by Fombitz, haileytucki:Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (x)*23-(5x)/(6)=0 (Is your 23 an exponent?)
Multiply 23 by each term inside the parentheses.
23x-(5x)/(6)=0
To add fractions, the denominators must be equal. The denominators can be made equal by finding the least common denominator (LCD). In this case, the LCD is 6. Next, multiply each fraction by a factor of 1 that will create the LCD in each of the fractions.
23x*(6)/(6)-(5x)/(6)=0
Complete the multiplication to produce a denominator of 6 in each expression.
(138x)/(6)-(5x)/(6)=0
Combine the numerators of all expressions that have common denominators.
(138x-5x)/(6)=0
Combine all like terms in the numerator.
(133x)/(6)=0
Multiply each term in the equation by 6.
(133x)/(6)*6=0*6
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
133x=0*6
Multiply 0 by 6 to get 0.
133x=0
Divide each term in the equation by 133.
(133x)/(133)=(0)/(133)
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
x=(0)/(133)
0 divided by any number or variable is 0.
x=0
Since the equation is a vertical line, the slope is infinite.
m=I
