Hello there!

A positive slope is represented in a linear equation by a positive coefficient behind the x term. A positive slope means that the graph is on an increasing interval as x approaches +∞. In a more simple way, a positive slope means that the graph is going up from left to right.

A negative slope is represented in a linear equation by a negative coefficient behind the x term. A negative slope means that the graph is on a decreasing interval as x approaches +∞. In a more simple way, a negative slope means that the graph is going down from left to right.

The x intercept(s) of a graph are where the graph touches the x-axis. These are also known as the zero(s) OR solution(s) of the function.

The y intercept(s) of a graph are where the graph touches the y-axis.

I hope this helps!
Best wishes:)

5.  The way I do these problems is setting up the equation as follows:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

The units of volume and pressure can be substituted as given, since they are in relation to one another, however, the final answer must match the units provided in the question.  Also, temperature must be converted to Kelvins before the equation can be used.

V1 = 50 cm^3

P1 = 825 Hg/mm

T1 = 15C = 288K

P2 = 750 Hg/mm

T2 = 47C = 320K

V2 = ?

Solve:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

(825)(50)/(288) = (750)V2/(320)

143.23 = 2.34V2

V2 = 61.21 cm^3

a sailboat has a large sail in the shape of a right triangle. the longest edge of the sail measures 17 yards, and the bottom edg
AlexFokin [52]

The computation is that the height of the sail is 15 yards.

<h3>How to calculate the height?</h3>

From the information, it was stated that the longest edge of the sail measures 17 yards, and the bottom edge of the sail is 8 yards.

We can use the Pythagoras theorem. Therefore,

c² = a² + b²

17² = 8² + b²

b² = 17² - 8²

b² = 289 - 64

b² = 225

b = ✓225

b = 15

Therefore, the computation is that the height of the sail is 15 yards.

For mathematical sentence would x=1 be a mathematical sentence?.
erma4kov [3.2K]
Yes it a mathematical sentence because it has the verb "is equal" in the sencence.

x = 1 translates to:
x is equal to 1 - notice the "is equal"

x + 1 is not a sentence because there is no "is equal" in the word form
x plus 1 (this needs more to it to understand)
