Refer to the diagram shown below.
Define two positions on each line as A (x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂).
Then the slope is
m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Horizontal line:
Define A (0, 1) and B (1,1).
The slope is
m= \frac{1-1}{1-0}=0

Vertical line:
Define A( (1,0) and B(1,1).
The slope is
m= \frac{1-0}{1-1}= \frac{1}{0}  (undefined)

How o I get the awnser to 9s+3=57 I need help asap im in 8th grade
PIT_PIT [208]
First subtract 3 from both sides of the equal sign. 
9s + 3 = 57
      - 3     -3
9s = 54

Then divide both sides by 9.
9s = 54
/9     /9
s = 6

You can check it by plugging it back into the equation.
9s + 3 = 57
9 * 6  + 3= 57
54 + 3 = 37
57 = 57
Yep! It's correct! :)

Hope that helped. Algebra can be tricky sometimes I know but it's really just balancing equations.

PLEASE MAKE SURE HELP ME!
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

1. The first problem is wrong, it should be 0.5(3(15) + 2(20)) because the parentheses make sure that every purchased item is being divided by 2 (multiplying by 0.5 is the same as dividing by 2)

2. The second problem is partially correct. The first two answers you have checked are correct, but the last one is wrong. The third answer should be 6 + 12 instead because that's just a simplified version of 2(3) + 6(2), meaning they are equal

3. I cannot read your answers in the "Why or Why Not" column in the third problem, but the answers you gave in the "Evaluate" and "Does It Work?" columns are all correct.
