Answer: m = 2
The formula for slope can be found by finding the difference in y between two values divided by the difference in x between the same two values. In this case, you would subtract 4 from 8 and 2 from 4, to get 4/2, or 2. The slope is represented by the variable m, so m = 2.
Answer:
The answer is 25%
Step-by-step explanation:
on the first year lets say town A and town B had a population of 100 (a town wouldn't have only 100 people but for simplicity lets do 100).
town A's population increases by 60%, 60% of 100 is 60, 100 + 60 = 160
town B's population decreases by 60%, 100 - 60 = 40
so now we have town A's population after 10 years and town B's population after 10 years, 160 divided by 40 = 4, and 100 divided by 4 equals 25, so the answer is 25%.
The concept used here is the place values. Each digit of a number holds it own value that is determined by its relative location within the number. Starting on the rightmost digit, the value increases by 10. The ones digit has a value of 1. The tens digit has a value of 10. The hundreds value has a value of 100.
The rightmost 4 has a value of 1, so its exact value is 4*1 = 4. The middle 4 is the tens place, so its exact value is 4*10 = 40. The third 4 from the right is in the hundreds place, so its exact value is 4*100 = 400.
