How to estimate to check that the answer is reasonable

1 answer:

8 0

Basically estimating is rounding, im going to futher explain this with an example.
For example:
If I wanted to round a number by it's nearest tenth such as 678
(*example)
there are 70 tenths
now when you are estimating when you are rounding to the nearest number if the number has a higher value then 5 you increase the number if it is lower than 5 you STAY the same.

now
678,
since the number next to it is 8, 7 increases and everything else turns into zero. so 678 rounded to the nearest 10th
is 680!

Hope this example helped!

Line p contains point (6, -5) and is perpendicular to line q. The equation for line q is y = 3x + 5. 1) Write an equation for li

wel

Answer:

$y = -\frac{1}{3}x -3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. To find the line, convert the slope of q and substitute it with (6, -5) into point slope form.

y = 3x + 5 is q. It has a slope of 3. So p will have a slope of -1/3.

$y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y - -5 = -\frac{1}{3}(x - 6)\\y + 5 = -\frac{1}{3}x + 2\\y = -\frac{1}{3}x -3$

Pls help me with this and an explanation

Answer:

The relationship in this equation is linear, but not proportional. If it was proportional, then replacing x with nx should give ny as the answer. Example:

y = 3x

Replace x with 2x.

y' = 3(2x) = 2(3x) = 2y

y' = 2y

This is proportional. But if you replace x with 2x in

y = 3x + 5,

you will not get 2y for y'. This case is not proportiona
