Option B: 8x+1 has the steepest slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as the rate of change of a line

The steepness of a slope means how close it is to being vertical

The greater value of slope means, more steepness. The value of slope can wither b positive or negative

We have to compare the slopes of all given options to find the steepest slope

As the options are in slope-intercept form, the coefficients of x will be the slope

So,

a. Slope = -4

b. Slope = 8

c. Slope = 2/3 = 0.66

d . Slope = 1/7 = 0.14

We can see that the largest value of slope in negative and positive is 8

So,

Option B: 8x+1 has the steepest slope

A 10-ounce box of cereal cost $3. A 20-ounce box of the same cereal cost $5. A third box of the same cereal costs $8.

kvasek [131]

The number of ounces of cereal in the third box is 32.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

10 oy box = $3

Price of 1 ounce box = $3/10

= $0.3

20 oy box = $5

Price of 1 oy box = $5/20

= $0.25

Therefore, it is beneficial to buy a 20 oy box as it is comparatively cheaper than the 10 oy box.

Third box of cereal = $8

$5 is the price of 20 oy box

$8 will be the price of x oy box

So,

$x = \frac{20}{5} X 8\\ \\x = 32$

Therefore, the number of ounces of cereal in the third box is 32.

Expand<br> c(3c - 3)<br> I need help on this

Rudik [331]

$\\ \sf\longmapsto c(3c-3)$

Apply distributive law

a(b-d)=ab-ad

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 3c(c)-3(c)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 3c^2-3c$

We can still take common

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 3c(c-1)$

In AMNO, the measure of Z0=90°, the measure of ZM=13°, and OM = 9.6 feet. Find

algol [13]

Answer:

Hypotenuse MN = 10.54 ft (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Base OM = 9.6 ft

Angle θ = 13'

Find:

Hypotenuse MN

Computation:

Using trigonometry function

Cos θ = Base / Hypotenuse

Cos 13 = 9.6 / Hypotenuse

0.97 = 9.6 / Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse MN = 10.54 ft (Approx.)
