Answer:
0.03
27
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula y=mx+b
m= slope
b= y-int
Rate of change can also be interpreted as the slope.
0.03
The initial value can be interpreted as the y-intercept.

Normally you would divide something like this by the cuts made. So if there were cuts of 2 inches on a 10 inch rope, then you should divide 10 by 2. It's the same with this:

Multiply by the reciprocal when you are dividing fractions.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The directrix of the parabola is perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the parabola
In this problem the directrix is y=-3.5
so
The axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis
we have a vertical parabola
Also, the vertex is at the origin
That means-----> the parabola open upward
The equation of a vertical parabola can be written as

where
p is the distance between the vertex and the directrix
In this problem
the distance between the vertex and the directrix is 3.5
----> the value of p is positive because the parabola open upward
substitute


isolate the variable y

The answer is B, 3/4 is greater than 3/5
3/4=0.75
3/5=0.6
0.75 is greater than 0.6
