What is the slope of the line x + 6y= 12

x + 6y = 12

You want the y-value to be on one side of the equation, so you have to subtract the x-value from both sides.

6y = -x + 12

Next, you divide both sides by 6, so that the y-value will be by itself.

y = - + 2

We know that the slope or the 'm' value is located before the x-value based on y = mx +b, therefore the slope is -

1/800 is the right answer

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8
