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.

Compare the fraction 3/5 to 1/2 and then compare 2/6 to 1/2. Use symbols in your answer
worty [1.4K]
Hello there!

"Compare the fraction 3/5 to 1/2 and then compare 2/6 to 1/2. Use symbols in your answer"


To make this easier, we will make it so that both fractions in each pair has like bases.

To make 3/5 and 1/2 have a like base, we must make the denominators 10. To do this, we will do the following:

(3*2)/(5*2) = 6/10

(1*5)/(2*5) = 5/10

Now we can easily compare and not worry about the denominator

So, let's just look at the numerators. 

Which is greater, 5 or 6? We know 6 is greater, so:

6/10 > 5/10

That means:

3/5 > 1/2

Now, we must do the same for 2/6 and 1/2

We will make them both 6. So, we can leave 2/6 alone

2/6

(1*3)/(2*3) = 3/6

Now we have 2/6 and 3/6

Which is greater, 3 or 2. The answer to that is 2. So:

3/6 > 2/6

This means that 1/2 > 2/6


Our answers are:

1. 3/6 > 2/6

2. 1/2 > 2/6


I hope I was able to help you!

Which choice is equivalent to the fraction below? Hint: Rationalize the denominator and simplify.
inna [77]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{D. }3\sqrt{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply numerator and denominator by √2

\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{6}{\sqrt{2}} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\= \dfrac{6\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\\= \boxed{3\sqrt{2}}

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Each U.S. Dollar is worth 1.293 Canadian dollars and each Canadian dollar is worth 0.773 U.S. Dollar.

To find: Value of 150 U.S. dollars in terms of Canadian dollars

Value of 1 U.S. dollar = 1.293 Canadian dollars

To find 150 U.S. dollars in terms of Canadian dollars, multiply 150 by 1.293

Value of 150 U.S. dollars in terms of Canadian dollars = 150 × 1.293 = 193.95 Canadian dollars

Question 6 of 10
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

(2.5 , 3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the midpoint formula . Here the points are , (2,2) and (3,5) .

• <u>Using</u><u> </u><u>Midpo</u><u>int</u><u> Formula</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

⇒ M = { (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2 }

⇒ M = ( 2+3/2 , 5+2/2 )

⇒ M = ( 5/2 , 7/2 )

⇒ M = ( 2.5 , 3.5 )

<h3><u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>midpoint</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>2</u><u>.</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u>.</u><u>5</u><u>)</u></h3>
