Your equation is presented in by the following formula of y = mx + b

m = slope, it is the coefficient of X

y = 4/5 X - 3

m = 4/5

When naming triangles we name them by the letters on each corner so only answers with T, A, and X in them are correct, so TAX, XTA, and AXT

Find the constant rate of change for each linear function and interpret its meaning

Marina CMI [18]

the slope goes by several names

• average rate of change

• rate of change

• deltaY over deltaX

• Δy over Δx

• rise over run

• gradient

• constant of proportionality

however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.

and to get it, we simply need two points off of the straight line, hmm let's use the ones in the picture below.

$(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{6}-\stackrel{y1}{4}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{6}-\underset{x_1}{2}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{4}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}$
