This expression is the one used to find slope. It represents the change in y-values divided by the change in x-values, which we get from coordinates.

For example, if you are given the points (-3, 7) and (2, 3) and asked to find the slope, you would use the form y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 like so:

7 - 3 / -3 - 2
4 / -5
-4/5

And the slope of the line of my example is -4/5.

This the definition for slope. M=slope.
Slope = rise/run or delta(y)/delta(x) which simply stands for change in y divided by change in x which is m(slope)=y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

She makes $325 a week, so go to the 8th row, for weekly income of $300 to $400.  She claims 2 exemptions, so go to the third column labeled 2.  The value is 2.  That means the $2 is withheld from her paycheck on top of the 6.25% for FICA.  The total is therefore:

$2 + (0.0625) ($325)

$22.3125

Rounded to the nearest cent, that's $22.31.

The amount of chlorine in a swimming pool varies directly with the volume of water. the pool has 2.5 milligrams of chlorine per
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Find out the  how much chlorine is in the pool .

To prove

As given

The amount of chlorine in a swimming pool varies directly with the volume of water.

The pool has 2.5 milligrams of chlorine per liter of water.

i.e

2.5 milligrams of chorine = 1 litre of water

There are 8000 gallons of water in the swimming pool.

As 1 gallons = 3.78541 litre (Approx)

Now convert 8000 gallons of water in litres.

8000 gallons = 8000 × 3.78541 litre

                      = 30283.28 litres

Now calculate chlorine in the pool for 30283.28 litres  of waters.

As

2.5 milligrams of chlorine = 1 litre of water

2.5 × 30283.28 milligrams of chlorine = 30283.28 litre of water

75708.2 milligrams of chlorine for 30283.28 litre of water .

The equation of a quadratic is =2^2+3−2and after you factorizing 2^2+3−2=0you got x = -2 and x = 1/2 and the curve crosses the y
Lelechka [254]

Given the next quadratic function:

y=2x^2+3x-2

to sketch its graph, first, we need to find its vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex is found as follows:

x_V=\frac{-b}{2a}

where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the first two coefficients of the quadratic function. Substituting with a = 2 and b = 3, we get:

\begin{gathered} x_V=\frac{-3}{2\cdot2} \\ x_V=-\frac{3}{4}=-0.75 \end{gathered}

The y-coordinate of the vertex is found by substituting the x-coordinate in the quadratic function, as follows:

\begin{gathered} y_V=2x^2_V+3x_V-2 \\ y_V=2\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})^2+3\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})-2 \\ y_V=2\cdot\frac{9}{16}+3\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})-2 \\ y_V=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{9}{4}-2 \\ y_V=-\frac{25}{8}=-3.125 \end{gathered}

The factorization indicates that the curve crosses the x-axis at the points (-2, 0) and (1/2, 0). We also know that the curve crosses the y-axis at (0,-2). Connecting these points and the vertex (-0.75, -3.125) with a U-shaped curve, we get:
