What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 6x - 12?

1 answer:

6 0

There are different types of equations of lines.
There are these three main forms, but I'll focus on just 2:

Slope-Intercept Form:
y = mx + b

Where,
"m" = slope
"b" = y-intercept

Point-Slope Form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where,
"m" = slope
"y1" = A y point on the graph
"x1" = A x point on the graph that correlates with the y value.

y = 6x - 12

Is in the same form of Slope-Intercept:

So,

y = 6x - 12

m = 6
b = -12

So our slope is,
6

Keep in mind if it was a fraction (Example: 6/5, then the slope is 6/5) the slope will be the entire fraction.

Also remember slope is the RISE over the RUN meaning it is the y value over the x value. So in this case we would go UP 6 and right 1 (because 6 is understood as 6/1).

Answer:

0.2793

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to convert 16° to radians.

#We know that 1° is equal to π/180 or 0.01745rad.

To convert any angle degrees to radians, we multiply it by π/180:

$=16\textdegree \times \pi/180\\\\=\frac{4\pi}{45} \ \ rad \ or 0.2793\ rad$

Hence, the radians equivalent of 16° is 0.2793

If one of the pedestrian deaths is randomly selected, find the probability that the driver was not intoxicated. Please enter a d

Ivan

Using it's concept, it is found that there is a 0.8606 probability that the driver was not intoxicated.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

Researching the problem on the internet, it is found that there are 62 + 76 + 254 + 598 = 990 deaths, of which 254 + 598 = 852 did not involve an intoxicated driver, hence the probability is given by:

p = 852/990 = 0.8606
