Are negative slopes steeper than positive slopes

Mathematics

nevsk [136]4 years ago

Answer:

No, they are not necessarily steeper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steepness is the <em>absolute value</em> of a slope. (The sign of a slope determines the direction of the incline: negative slope corresponds to pointing up to the left, positive slope points up to the right.)

So it is only the absolute value of a slope that should be used in any comparison. Because of that, one cannot, in general, say that negative slopes are steeper than positive slopes.

A higher positive slope means a steeper upward tilt to the curve, which you can see at higher output levels. A negative slope that is larger in absolute value (that is, more negative) means a steeper downward tilt to the line.

A Fruit Stand sells 6 oranges for $3.00 and grapefruit for $2.40 people buy 10 oranges and 11 grapefruits much does the fruit sp
Harlamova29_29 [7]
<span>The <u>correct answer</u> is:

$31.40.

Explanation<span>:

Since 6 oranges cost $3.00, we can divide to find the cost of one orange:

3.00/6 = $0.50. Each orange costs $0.50.

If ten oranges are bought, this would cost 10(0.50)=$5.00.

Each grapefruit costs $2.40; 11 of them would cost 11(2.40) = 26.40.

Together the total cost is $5+$26.40 = $31.40.</span></span>

Number 7 and 8 plz answer quickly
Flauer [41]

(7) m∠A = 52°

(8) m∠B = 117°

Solution:

(7) Let us first define the supplementary and complementary angles.

Supplementary angles: Two angles are said to be supplementary angles if their sum is add up to 180°

Complementary angles: Two angles are said to be complementary angles if their sum is add up to 90°

Given supplement of 142° = 180° – 142°

                                           = 38°

Complement of ∠A = Supplement of 142°

⇒ Complement of ∠A = 38°

Measure of ∠A = 90° – 38°

                          = 52°

Hence m∠A = 52°.

(8) Given complement of 27° = 90° – 27°

                                                 = 63°

Supplement of ∠B = Complement of 27°

⇒ Supplement of ∠B = 63°

Measure of ∠B = 180° – 63°

                          = 117°

Hence m∠B = 117°.
