What is the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 4) and (6, 13)
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The slope is \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the points (0, 4) and (6, 13)

We want to find the slope of the line containing these two points

Slope (m) is the steepness of the line. When calculating from two points, you use the equation \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}, where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points

Although we have what we need to find the slope, let's label the values of the points to avoid confusion and mistakes.

x_1=0\\y_1=4\\x_2=6\\y_2=13

Substitute these values into the equation

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{13-4}{6-0}

Subtract

m=\frac{9}{6}

Simplify

m=\frac{3}{2}

The slope of the line is 3/2

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The answer is 3 , 1 , 2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

I will give an example.

e.g.

x² + 3x + 2

Step 3 :

Set the equation equal to zero :

x² + 3x + 2 = 0

Step 1 :

Completely factor the equation :

x² + x + 2x + 2 = 0

x(x+1) + 2(x+1) = 0

(x+2)(x+1) = 0

Step 2 :

Set each factor equal zero and then solve for the variable :

(x+2)(x+1) = 0

x + 2 = 0

x = -2

x + 1 = 0

x = -1

Answer:

2) y = 0.95x + 4

3) slope: height increases by 0.95 units as x increases by 1 unit

intercept: initial height

Step-by-step explanation:

Using (20,23) and (40,42)

Slope: (42 - 23)/(40 - 20)

0.95

y = 0.95x+ c

23 = 0.95(20) + c

c = 4

y = 0.95x + 4
