When given a problem in a real-world situation, how can you identify the slope and y-intercept?

1 answer:

7 0

The slope is how much something increases or decreases by at a constant rate, for example if johnny buys 3 oranges every time he goes to the store the slope would be 3. the y-intercept is how many things you start with so if johnny already had 5 oranges before he went to the store the y-intercept would be 5. the equation for that situation would by y=3x+5... 3x is the 3 oranges johnny buys each time he goes to the store (the slope) and 5 is how many oranges he started with before going to the store at all (y-intercept)

Give one combination of two factors whose product is 0.24, if one of the factors is a whole number greater than 1.

vitfil [10]

Answer: There are a lot of answers to this product. Some of them include (in the format (w, x), where w is the whole number, and x is the factor you must multiply it by to get 0.24):

(2, 0.12), (3, 0.08), (4, 0.06), (6, 0.04), and so on.

Step-by-step explanation: Well, you could just assign the smallest who number greater than 1 to one of the factors, which is 2. Now you just have to multiply that by another factor to get 0.24. To do this, you could set up an equation like this:

2*x=0.24

Next, you would divide both sides by 2 to cancel out the 2 on the left side of the equation, leaving you with:

x=0.12

There you have it!

Now you can check your work by multiplying 2 and 0.12, and you will get 0.24!

You can do the same thing with other whole numbers, such as 3 and 4, and complete the same process to find the decimal factor that multiplies to 0.24.
