the terms in sequence A increases by 3. The terms in sequence B increase by 8. In which sequence do the terms form a steeper lin
e when graphed as points on a coordinate plane? Justify your reasoning.

Solution: The sequence B shows the steeper line.
Exanation:
The line having greater slope is always steeper than the other lines.
Since it is given that the sequence A increases by 3 and the sequence B increases by 8. It means for each additional value the sequences increased by 3 and 5 units respectively.
The slope of line is rate of change of one variable with respect to another variable.
The sequence A increased by 3, therefore the slope of line of sequence A is 3.
The sequence B increased by 8, therefore the slope of line of sequence B is 8.
Since the slope of sequence B is greater than the slope of sequence A, therefore the line of sequence B is steeper than the line of sequence A.
The sequence A can be defined as 3,6,9,12,.... and the sequence B can be defined as 8,16,24,....
So the coordinates points of sequence A are (0,0)(1,3),(2,6) and the coordinates points of sequence B are (0,0),(1,8),(2,16).
From the given figure it is notes that the blue line is steeper than red line.
Therefore, the sequence B shows the steeper line.

Answer:
64,000 oz
Step-by-step explanation:
A demolition (wrecking) ball is a relatively large dense mass, often spherical, typically swung from a crane, used to demolish buildings or other structures.
We assume you want to convert from a US short ton (2000 pounds) to Avoirdupois ounces (16 ounces per pound).
Then your ball's weight is ...
(2 tons)(2000 lb/ton)(16 oz/lb) = 64,000 oz
