The "m" in y = mx + b is the <u>slope.</u>
It is the number of units a point goes up, down, left, or right each time. Making the line linear/straight.
"rise" is the the number of units you go up(+) or down(-), "run" is the number of units you go to the right
For example, if your slope is:
You are going up 1 unit, and to the right 2 units
3 or 
You are going up 3 units, and to the right 1 unit
You are going down one unit, and to the right 2 units
-3 or 
You are going down 3 units, and to the right 1 unit

<span>given:
bull's eye radius= x
width of surrounding rings=y
solution:
Radius of the circle=x+4y
Area of the outermost ring=Area of the circle-Area of the penultimate ring
=Ď€(x+4y)^2-Ď€(x+3y)^2
=Ď€(x^2+8xy+16y^2-x^2-9y^2-6xy)
=Ď€(2xy+7y^2)
hence the area of the outermost ring in terms of x and y is π(2xy+7y^2).</span>
Let x represent the number of shirts. Let y represent the number of pens.
If shirts are on sale for $11.99 each, then x shirts cost $11.99x.
If pants are on sale for $12.99 each, then y pants cost $12.99y.
The total cost is $(11.99x+12.99y).
Sarah can spend up to $65. Then an inequality that represents this situation is
11.99x+12.99y≤65 (this inequality holds when Sarah can spend $65 too)
or
11.99x+12.99y<65 (this inequality holds when Sarah can spend less than $65).
