Answer:
To ensure uniformity on an exam
Or
To test whether you can distinguish between the two formats
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form is when a straight line equation is rearranged in the form:
Therefore y=2x+4 in standard form is
The slope-intercept form is when a a straight line equation is written in the form:
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
The given equation is
This is already in slope-intercept form:
The standard form and slope-intercept forms are just formats.
Your instructor may restrict you to leave your answer in one of these formats maybe for uniformity on a test.
You may also decide to rewrite an equation in slope-intercept form, so that you can easily identify the slope and y-intercept easily for graphing purpose.
Let width of the floor be x feet, them area is
x(x+2) = 168
x^2 + 2x - 168 = 0
(x - 12)(x + 14) - 0
so x = 12
the floor is 12 ft by 10 ft
the width of the rug should be 10 - 2(2) = 6 feet
Answer:
Well the Answer is <u>- x - 13 </u> Hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
<span> Gas station B sells gasoline at a lower rate. Its price is $3.05 per gallon.</span>
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
a. Using two points on the line (0, 2) and (4, 12), find the gradient:
Gradient = ∆y/∆x = (12 - 2) / (4 - 0) = 10/4 = 2.5
Gradient = 2.5
b. The gradient, 2.5, represents the unit rate. That is, the volume of the oil in the tank per second.
i.e. 2.5 litres per second
c. The value, L = 2 represents the y-intercept, which is the starting value or initial volume of oil in the tank at 0 secs.
