Linear equations can be written in the form <em>y = mx + b</em> where the multiplier "m" represents the slope of the line.
The linear equation <em>y = -8x + 6</em> has a slope equal to 3.
An image providing where the slope of the line is in y = mx + b is provided.
Is not because the 13-3 would be positive and the other 3-13 would be negative
Answer:
m = 0.667
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate and show the solution for the x-intercept and y-intercept of 4x - 6y = 14.
Calculate the graph plot coordinates for 4x - 6y = 14
Solve 4x - 6y = 14 for x and also for y.
Calculate and show the solution for the slope of 4x - 6y = 14
Find x-intercept
The x-intercept is where the graph crosses the x-axis. To find the x-intercept, we set y1=0 and then solve for x.
4x - 6y = 14
4x - 6(0) = 14
x1 = 3.5 y1 = 0
Find y-intercept
The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis. To find the y-intercept, we set x2=0 and then solve for y.
4x - 6y = 14
4(0) - 6y = 14
y2 = -2.333 x2 = 0
Get Graph Plot Coordinates
Getting two graph points will allow you to make a straight line on a graph. The plot coordinate format is (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
Thus, we use the x-intercept and y-intercept results above to get the graph plots for 4x - 6y = 14 as follows:
(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
(3.5,0) and (0,-2.333)
Find slope
The slope of the line (m) is the steepness of the line. It is the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate. Simply plug in the coordinates from above and solve for m to get the slope for 4x - 6y = 14
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-2.333 - 0)/(0 - 3.5)
m = 0.667

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
the mean is given by:

In our case this is:

side note: the main difference between sample mean and population mean is in the 'context'. However, the method to calculate them is the same.
By context I mean: if this the items are taken from some larger category for example: the ages of a few 'students' from a 'class'. Here 'students' are the sample from a larger set that is 'class'. The mean of the 'few students' will be called sample mean. In contrast, if we take the mean of the ages of the whole class then this is called population mean. (population mean == mean of the whole set)
In our case we aren't told exactly where these numbers come from, is this the whole set or a sample from it, the lack of context allows us to assume that the mean can either be population mean or sample mean. So we can safely use any symbol
or
.
we have

we know that
<u>The Rational Root Theorem</u> states that when a root 'x' is written as a fraction in lowest terms

p is an integer factor of the constant term, and q is an integer factor of the coefficient of the first monomial.
So
in this problem
the constant term is equal to 
and the first monomial is equal to
-----> coefficient is 
So
possible values of p are 
possible values of q are 
therefore
