Question

What’s the verdict boys

Answer 1

`y=(1)/(26)x-2`

Explanation:

`x-26y=52\\\mathbf{y=mx+b}\:\mathrm{is\:the\:slope\:intercept\:form\:of\:a\:line\:where}\:\mathbf{m}\:\mathrm{is\:the\:slope\:and}\:\mathbf{b}\:\mathrm{is\:the}\:\mathbf{y}\:\mathrm{intercept}\\\mathrm{Convert\:to\:slope\:intercept\:form}:\quad y=(1)/(26)x-2\\x-26y=52\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\x-26y-x=52-x\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\-26y=52-x\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-26\\(-26y)/(-26)=(52)/(-26)-(x)/(-26)`
`\mathrm{Simplify}\\(-26y)/(-26)=(52)/(-26)-(x)/(-26)\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}(-26y)/(-26):\quad y\\(-26y)/(-26)\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad (-a)/(-b)=(a)/(b)\\=(26y)/(26)\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:(26)/(26)=1\\=y`

`\mathrm{Simplify\:}(52)/(-26)-(x)/(-26):\quad -(52-x)/(26)\\(52)/(-26)-(x)/(-26)\\\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:(a)/(c)\pm (b)/(c)=(a\pm \:b)/(c)\\=(52-x)/(-26)\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad (a)/(-b)=-(a)/(b)\\=-(52-x)/(26)\\y=(1)/(26)x-2\\\mathrm{For\:a\:line\:in\:the\:form\:of\:}\mathbf{y=mx+b}\mathrm{,\:the\:slope\:is}\:\mathbf{m}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathbf{y}\:\mathrm{intercept\:is}\:\mathbf{b}\\y=(1)/(26)x-2`

Answer 2

the fill in the blank is 2
you reduce 52/26 that’s how you get the answer
