Proportionality indicates how quantity vary in relation with other quantities. There are two types of proportionality, that is direct proportionality where an increase or a decrease in a quantity causes a corresponding increase or decrease in the other variable and inverse proportionality where decrease in a variable causes an increase in the other variable and vicevarsa. In this case the 15 paperclips have a total weight of 2 grams therefore each clip contributes a weight of 0.0133 grams, thus increasing the paperclips also increases the total weight. Thus, the number of paper clips is direct proportional to the total weight

Answer:

60in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Length= 24 in

Width = 18 in

Diagonally, we need to find using the Pythagoras theorem

D^2= L^2+W^2

D^2= 24^2+18^2

D^2= 576+324

D^2= 900

Square both sides

D= √900

D= 30 in

For both sides

=30*2= 60in

Given the point (1, 2) and a slope of 4, write the equation in point slope form.
vitfil [10]

This article is about the math term. For other uses, see Slope (disambiguation).

For the grade (incline or gradient or pitch or slope) of any physical feature, see Grade (slope).

Slope: {\displaystyle m=\left({\frac {\Delta y}{\Delta x}}\right)=\tan(\theta )}{\displaystyle m=\left({\frac {\Delta y}{\Delta x}}\right)=\tan(\theta )}

In mathematics, the slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line.[1] Slope is often denoted by the letter m; there is no clear answer to the question why the letter m is used for slope, but its earliest use in English appears in O'Brien (1844)[2] who wrote the equation of a straight line as "y = mx + b" and it can also be found in Todhunter (1888)[3] who wrote it as "y = mx + c".[4]

Slope is calculated by finding the ratio of the "vertical change" to the "horizontal change" between (any) two distinct points on a line. Sometimes the ratio is expressed as a quotient ("rise over run"), giving the same number for every two distinct points on the same line. A line that is decreasing has a negative "rise". The line may be practical - as set by a road surveyor, or in a diagram that models a road or a roof either as a description or as a plan.

The steepness, incline, or grade of a line is measured by the absolute value of the slope. A slope with a greater absolute value indicates a steeper line. The direction of a line is either increasing, decreasing, horizontal or vertical.

A line is increasing if it goes up from left to right. The slope is positive, i.e. {\displaystyle m>0}m>0.

A line is decreasing if it goes down from left to right. The slope is negative, i.e. {\displaystyle m<0}m<0.

If a line is horizontal the slope is zero. This is a constant function.

If a line is vertical the slope is undefined (see below).

The rise of a road between two points is the difference between the altitude of the road at those two points, say y1 and y2, or in other words, the rise is (y2 − y1) = Δy. For relatively short distances, where the earth's curvature may be neglected, the run is the difference in distance from a fixed point measured along a level, horizontal line, or in other words, the run is (x2 − x1) = Δx. Here the slope of the road between the two points is simply described as the ratio of the altitude change to the horizontal distance between any two points on the line.

In mathematical language, the slope m of the line is

{\displaystyle m={\frac {y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}}.}m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.

The concept of slope applies directly to grades or gradients in geography and civil engineering. Through trigonometry, the slope m of a line is related to its angle of incline θ by the tangent function

{\displaystyle m=\tan(\theta )}m = \tan (\theta)

Thus, a 45° rising line has a slope of +1 and a 45° falling line has a slope of −1.
