Given the equation, y = x - 4, what is the slope and the y-intercept? m = 4 and b = 1/3 m = -4 and b = 1/3 m = 1/3 and b = 4 m = 1/3 and b = -4

the answer would be m=1/3 and b=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Y=X-4

the X= 1 almost all the time in an equation unless otherwise your given an equation for "x". so x  is automatically 1/3 which would be your slope, and then then looking at the equation the end part of the equation is your starting point.so you look at the end of the equation and  the -4 is were youd start your point on the graph.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
