Step-by-step explanation:
gradient = slope or several other words.
it describes how strongly a line (or tangent to a bent curve) is going up or down or ... if it is changing at all.
it is represented by the ratio
(y coordinate change / x coordinate change)
when going from one point on the line to another.
in our case, when going from A to B we have
x changes by -2k (from 3k to k).
y changes by -11 (from 8 to -3).
so, the gradient or slope is
-11/-2k = 3
11/2k = 3
11 = 3×2k = 6k
k = 11/6
A = (33/6, 8) = (11/2, 8)
B = (11/6, -3)
Answer:
k= -0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
3+2(5k-3)=7 (original)
3+10k-6=7 (distribute 2 in (5k-3))
9+10k=7 (combine like terms 3+-6)
10k=-2 (subtract 9 on both sides to isolate k)
k=-0.2 (divide 10 on both sides to get you're answer/isolate k)
3/5, 1, 13/8, 9/5 this is the answer to your question
A percentage is a portion out of 100, and because it is a portion of a whole it can be written as a fraction of an amount (in this case a fraction of 100). You can also rewrite this as a decimal because a fraction is essentially the same thing as a division problem and when you divide a number by 100 you usually get a decimal (if the numerator is smaller than 100 that is), and also because decimals are similar to fractions because they represent parts a whole unit for instance the percentage 72% is equivalent to the fraction 72/100 which is the same as 72 divided by 100 which is the same as the decimal 0.72.
Sorry for the long explanation but I hope this helped!
