I have no better answer than simply, because there are 12 inches in a foot.

By definition a conversion factor is one unit being used to express a group or multiple of another unit. Just like how there are 12 of anything in one dozen. 100 years in one century. 365 days in one year. 100 centimeters in a meter. 4 quarts in one gallon. 10 dimes in one dollar. They are equal to each other and, thus, can be used as conversion factors.

6) slope is 1, y-intercept is 3, equation in slope-intercept form:

$y=x+3$

7) Slope of the line that goes through the points (3,9) and (-5,3) is $Slope=\frac{3}{4}$

8) Slope = m= $\frac{2}{3}$

y-intercept = b= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

6) Create table of coordinate points:

x y

-2 1

-1 2

Identify the slope:

Using formula:

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Putting values:

$Slope=\frac{2-1}{-1-(-2)}$

$Slope=\frac{1}{-1+2}$

$Slope=\frac{1}{1}$

$Slope=1$

So, slope is 1

Identify y-intercept.

y-intercept is found when x=0, so, looking at the table when x = 0, y= 3 so, y-intercept is 3

Equation in the form: y=mx+b

here m is slope and b is y-intercept

Putting values:

$y=mx+b\\y=1x+3\\or\,\,y=x+3$

So, equation in slope-intercept form:

$y=x+3$

7) Find the slope of the line that goes through the points (3,9) and (-5,3)

Using formula:

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Putting values:

$Slope=\frac{3-9}{-5-(3)}$

$Slope=\frac{-6}{-5-3}$

$Slope=\frac{-6}{-8}$

$Slope=\frac{3}{4}$

So, slope of the line that goes through the points (3,9) and (-5,3) is $Slope=\frac{3}{4}$

8) What is the slope and y-intercept of the following equation:

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-4$

The equation is in slope-intercept form

The general equation of slope-intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

where m is slope and b is y-intercept

Comparing both equations we get:

Slope = m= $\frac{2}{3}$

y-intercept = b= -4

If a test consists of ten multiple choice questions with each permitting a possible answers. How many ways are there in which a

dangina [55]

The question isn't correctly given, a possible format is in the comment below, however, the explanation will cover then concept which can be applied to different but similar

Answer:

10048576 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a question, from which we can choose aby of 4 options, this gives ua 4 possible choices for 1.

This will also apply if we have more than 1 question with the same number of options.

This can be called the product rule, as each possibility is the same of each question given :

Therefore, given 10 questions:

. We have

4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 = 4^10 = 10048576 ways
