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:)

Is the expression 5 (3m+2p) -4m equivalent to the expression 13p+11m-3p?

Aleksandr [31]

5 (3m+2p) -4m= 15m +10p -4m
=11m +10p
--------------------------------------------------------
13p+11m-3p=10p -11m
-----------------------------------------------------------
Yes, 5 (3m+2p) -4m is equivalent to the expression 13p+11m-3p as i worked out for you.. Hope this helps you!!! =')

A box measures 1/6 ft. long, 1/4 ft. wide, and 1/3 ft. high. Find the volume of the box in inches. Do not include units in your

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the final answer has to be in inches.

To convert ft = in, multiply given ft. by 12.

1/6 = 1/6 * 12 = 2

1/4 = 0.25 * 12 = 3

1/3 = 0.3 * 12 = 4
