Can someone please explain slope in a way that might make sense.

Answers

Answer 1
Okay let’s take the question “Find the slope of the points (4, 1) and (-2, 7)” as an example

The slope of an equation or graph is the rate of change.

In order to find slope, we use the formula m=rise/run or m=y2-y1/x2-x1

“m” is equal to the slope

“rise” or “y2-y1” is the difference (subtraction) of the two y coordinates

“run” or “x2-x1” is the difference (subtraction) of the two x coordinates

Remember, the points we are using for this example are (4, 1) and (-2, 7)

m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = 7-1/-2-4

1 and 7 are your y coordinates so you plug them in an find the difference (subtraction)

4 and -2 are your x coordinates so you plug them in an find the difference (subtraction)

It doesn’t matter whether you do “m=7-1/-2-4” or “m=1-7/4-(-2)” both will have the same answer

The only thing you can’t do is something like “m=7-1/4-(-2)” or “m=1-7/-2-4”

The bottom can’t be solved in the opposite way of how it was solved on top and vice versa of that makes sense

Also, keep in mind that if you see two negatives as in the “m=1-7/4-(-2)” example, you turn it into an addition symbol

Like this:
“m=1-7/4+2)”

Because two negatives are equal to a positive

m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = 7-1/-2-4
m = 6/-6
m = 6/-6
m = -1

Remember that a negative divided by a positive is always a negative so it doesn’t matter where you place the negative sign

For example, if your slope was 2/-5, that would be the same as -2/5

And when you divide two negatives, it always equals to a positive

For example -2/-5 would simplify to 2/5

I hope that helped and made sense :)

Which of the following best describes the graph below?

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. It is a one-to-one function

Step-by-step explanation:

A function f(x), is a one to one function when each value in the range is given by each unique value in the domain such that each "x" value produces a unique "y" value.

The given graph has a domain of -2 ≤ x < ∞

Within the domain plotted in the graph, all lines with equation "x" = -2, -1, 0..., 4, 5 crosses the graph only once, therefore, for each value of "x", there is only one value of "y", which gives the relationship between the "x" and "y" values as one to one function

The answer is A and D

In answer choice A the fractions are 3/6 and 4/6. In the original equation in fractions are 1/2 and 2/3. The equivalent fraction to 1/2 is 3/6 because 1x3=3 and 2x3=6, therefore 3/6 is equivalent. The equivalent fraction to 2/3 is 4/6 because 2x2=4 and 3x3=6, therefore 4/6 is equivalent.


In answer choice D the fractions are 9/18 and 12/18. In the original equation in fractions are 1/2 and 2/3. The equivalent fraction to 1/2 is 9/18 because 1x9=9 and 2x9=18, therefore 9/18 is equivalent. The equivalent fraction to 2/3 is 12/18 because 2x6=12 and 3x6=18, therefore 12/18 is equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation: apply exponent rule rewrite factor out common term plz enjoy

Answer:

[tex]x = 0\; ,-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]36x^3 + 27x^2 = 0[/tex]

Take 9x² common from the expression on L.H.S.

[tex]=> 9x^2(4x + 3) = 0[/tex]

Here, x will have 2 values :-

1) [tex]9x^2(4x + 3) = 0[/tex]

Divide both the sides by (4x + 3)

[tex]=> \frac{9x^2(4x + 3)}{(4x+3)} = \frac{0}{4x+3}[/tex]

[tex]=> 9x^2 = 0[/tex]

Divide both the sides by 9x

[tex]=> \frac{9x^2}{9x} = \frac{0}{9x}[/tex]

[tex]=> x = 0[/tex]

2) [tex]9x^2(4x + 3) = 0[/tex]

Divide both the sides by 9x²

[tex]=> \frac{9x^2(4x + 3)}{9x^2} = \frac{0}{9x^2}[/tex]

[tex]=> 4x+3 = 0[/tex]

Substract both the sides from 3

[tex]=> 4x+3 -3 = 0 - 3[/tex]

[tex]=> 4x=-3[/tex]

Divide both the sides by 4

[tex]=> \frac{4x}{4} = \frac{-3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]=> x = -\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Kennedy's Inaugural Address, 1961In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.Now the trumpet summons us againnot as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we arebut a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibilityI welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve itand the glow from that fire can truly light the world.And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for youask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.Consider this sentence from the text:The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.What figure of speech is Kennedy using in this sentence, and what does he want to make his listeners feel? He is using irony to suggest sympathy for Americans who have died in battle over the years. He is using hyperbole to make listeners feel inspired by the sacrifices of those who have gone before them. He is using personification to compare live Americans with those who have died fighting for their country. He is using simile to compare audience members with Americans who have fought and died for their country. Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 6 minutes.
