Not at all.

'm' turns out to be the slope of the graph of the equation.

If the graph of the equation slopes upward as it goes
from left to right, then 'm' is positive.

If the graph of the equation slopes downward as it goes
from left to right, then 'm' is negative.

'm' is the slope. 

The answer is no. There could be a negative number, which means that the slope would be decreasing, or as known as a negative slope (negative rate of change). <span />

olga2289 [7]
Each ream weighs 5 lb . so, reducing 10 lb means removing 2 reams from the 12. so, how do we arrange the 10 reams so that its easy to carry?
i thinks that 3 stacks will not work as it wont be a symmetric arrangement as 1 will be left out. So, 2 stacks of 5 each would be easy to carry. but the stacks should be placed in such a way that the lengths are parallel to each other and not in-line which would increase the length making it comparatively longer. its easier to hold a (2*8.5,11,2*5=17,11,17)compact box.

Which expression shows the correct multiplication of the following polynomilas? 3x(6x^2-3x+7)
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: 18x^3-9x^2+21x

Solution:

3x(6x^2-3x+7)=

Applying the distributive property in the multiplication to eliminate the parentheses:

(3x)(6x^2)+(3x)(-3x)+(3x)(7)=

(3*6)x^(1+2)+3*(-3)x^(1+1)+(3*7)x=

18x^3-9x^2+21x
