What is the slope of the following? 9x + 4y = -36

Step-by-step explanation:

First find 2 points on the line.  To do this you will need to substitute numbers in for x and y.  Do this by first putting 0 in for x to find the value of y:

9(0) + 4y = -36

0 + 4y = -36       =  4y = -36   =        y = -36 ÷ 4 = -9     y= -9

(0,-9)

Now that we have that point substitute 0 in for y.

9x + 4(0) = -36

9x + 0 = -36   =    9x = -36     =    x = -36  ÷ 9    x = -4

(-4,0)

After you have your two points decide which on you want to be (x1,y1) and which you want to be (x2,y2).  It doesn't matter which one you choose.  You will then plug in your numbers into the slope formula:

       y2 - y1           -9 - 0         -9           The slope is - 9/4

       x2 - x1            0 - 4          -4            

the number of the people going.

step-by-step explanation:

the cost to buy one movie ticket is $7. if the total cost for the movie is a function of how many people go, then the input is : the number of the people going.
