The slope is the amount of change in the value of y for every one unit increase in the value of x. Thus, what we are looking for is, if the value of x increases by 1, by how much will the value of y increase (or effectively decrease, if this value is negative)?

From the graph, we can see that as x increases, y decreases, therefor we know that this will be a negative number. Furthermore, if we look at the points (0, 1) and (4, 0), we can see that there has been a decrease of 1 unit (or an increase of -1 units) in the y-value for an increase of 4 units in the x-value. Thus, if we wanted to find how much the y-value increases for a one unit increase in the x-value we would have -1/4.

This also reflects the formula for the gradient being rise/run - there has been a 'rise' of -1 (negative since it has fallen rather than risen) and a 'run' of 4 (this refers to the amount of units in the x-direction).

Now we can see that either C or D is the answer.

To find the y-intercept, we simply look at what the y-value is when x = 0; looking at the graph, we can see that y = 1 when x = 0, thus the y-intercept is 1.

Given that the gradient is -1/4 and the y-intercept is 1, we can see that the answer is C.

Lucy's school is celebrating easter by having a race in which the winner will get a basket of chocolate eggs. lucy is the fiftie
Alja [10]
The question also states that Lucy has a winning probability of 1/50, which means that she has 1 chance of winning if the total runners were 50. Therefore, there are 49 runners who may be faster than her.

The fact that Lucy is the 50th slowest runner, means that starting from the slowest she is in 50th position, therefore there are 49 runners that are slower than her.

The total number of runners will be the sum of those faster than Lucy, those slower than Lucy and Lucy:
49 + 49 + 1 = 99

There are 99 runners in Lucy's school.

teri and her friends bought a party size sandwich that was 7/9 yard long. they ate 2/3 of a yard. what part of the yard was left
Marysya12 [62]
Teri had 7/9 of a sandwich, you need to find a common denominator for 2/3. Multiply 2/3 by 3 which is 6/9. (6/9 is how much they ate) Then you subtract 7/9 by 6/9 (7/9-6/9=1/9)
Answer:1/9 of a yard

I hope this helped.. not much of a teacher hahah :)
