The value of m is the slope

If you have a equation like this:

y = 2x

2 is your slope. Your slope is always rise/run. This mean that for this equation you are going to rise 2 and run 1 since x is going to be equal to 1

The value of b is the y-intercept

For the equation above, you can see no b which means that you start at (0,0)

In this second equation:

y = x + 2

The b is equal to 2, so the y - intercept is 2 and you are going to start at the point (0,2)

lys-0071 [83]

The person whose walk is longer is Erica.

Erica's walk is 8/9 times longer than Erica's walk.

<h3>Whose walks the longer distance?</h3>

In order to determine who walked the longer distance, we would convert the fractions to percentages.

3/4 becomes 75%

2/3 becomes 66.7%

Erica's percentage is smaller, thus, she walks a longer distance.

Jordan's walk is 8/9 times longer

(2/3 ÷3/4) (2/3 x 4/3 = 8/9)

Find the measures of angels of M and N<br><br>M (6y-10)<br><br>N (4y-10)

PSYCHO15rus [73]

We have been given an image of a trapezoid. We are asked to find the measure of angle M and N.

We know that bases of trapezoid are parallel and the two angles between two parallel lines are supplementary, so we can set an equation as:

$\angle M+\angle N=180$

$(6y-10)+(4y-10)=180$

$6y-10+4y-10=180$

$10y-20=180$

$10y-20+20=180+20$

$10y=200$

$\frac{10y}{10}=\frac{200}{10}$

$y=20$

Upon substituting value of y in measure of angle M, we will get:

$m\angle M=6y-10$

$m\angle M=6(20)-10$

$m\angle M=120-10$

$m\angle M=110$

Therefore, measure of angle M is 110 degrees.

Similarly, we will find the value of angle N as:

$m\angle N=4y-10$

$m\angle N=4(20)-10$

$m\angle N=80-10$

$m\angle N=70$

Therefore, measure of angle N is 70 degrees.
