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:)

Delia, Edwin and Freya share some money in the ratio 5 : 7 : 8. Freya’s share is £1600. How much money did they share?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

To find how much money they shared first find the total parts

Which is

5 + 7 + 8 = 20

Deila's share is

5 /20 × £1600

= 1/4 × £1600 = £ 400

Edwin's share is

7/ 20 ×£1600 = £560

Freya's share is

8/20 × £1600

= 2/5 × £1600 = £640

Hope this helps you

What is the answer to 5 1/2 - 2/3
aniked [119]

To solve this problem, we first have to convert 5 1/2 into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the unit (5) times the denominator (2) and then add the numerator (1) to the product, while still keeping the same denominator.


(5 * 2) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11/2


Now, this makes our expression: 11/2 - 2/3


Next, we have to find a common denominator for 2 and 3 by finding their shared LCM, or least common multiple. In this case, the LCM is 6. This means that we are going to convert both of the fractions in the expression into fractions with the denominator 6, so that we can easily compute the subtraction.


11 * 3 / 2 * 3 - 2 * 2 / 3 * 2


33/6 - 4/6


Now, we can simply subtract the numerators to find our final answer.


29/6


Your final answer is 29/6.


Hope this helps!

Work out the circumference of this circle.
Kryger [21]

Answer:

28.3 (explaination below)! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for cicrumfrence: C=2πr

Radius can be found by splitting the given number in half, (unless you were given the radius already, then you'd just multiply by 2).

Plug in our numbers. C= 2π4.5

Then, multiply.

You'd get 28.27433388230814.

Rounding to the first decimal place, you'd have a final answer of  28.3.

Hope this helps!
