What is slope and intercept

Mathematics

Basically slope is how steep a straight line is and an intercept is where a line crosses the x-axis and y-axis. It's easier to use it than it is to explain it. In a slope-intercept formula (y= mx+b) m = slope and b= y-intercept. With this info you can solve different problems and graph equations.

Alborosie

Answer:

The slope of FG is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Square EFGH

EF: x - y = 2

Required

Determine the slope of FG

First, we calculate the slope of EF

x - y = 2

Make y the subject

-y = 2 - x

y = x -2

The general equation has the form: y = mx + b

Where

m = slope

Compare y = mx + b to y = x -2

m = 1

<em>From the name of the square EFGH, we can conclude that EF and FG are perpendicular</em>

<em />

The relationship between perpendicular lines is:

m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1}

Where

m_1 = m = 1 -- Slope of EF

and

m2 = slope of FG

Substitute 1 for m1 in m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1}

m_2 = -\frac{1}{1}

m_2 = -1\\

<em>Hence, the slope of FG is -1</em>

A rectangle has a length 3x + 1 of and a width of Write an expression for the 3-9
jolli1 [7]

The expression for the perimeter is P = 12x - 16

<h3>How to write an expression for the perimeter?</h3>

The given parameters are

Length = 3x + 1

Width = 3x - 9

The perimeter is calculated as

P = 2 * (Width + Length)

So, we have

P = 2 * (3x + 1 + 3x - 9)

Evaluate

P = 2* (6x - 8)

Expand

P = 12x - 16

Hence, the expression for the perimeter is P = 12x - 16

Which of the interpretations for the given expression is correct?
Usimov [2.4K]

The correct answer is D, because the first step in the expression is finding the difference of 3x and 4. Then, you square it, and finally, multiply it by 5 (finding the product. I hope this helped!
