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
Answer:
3x+4 Ralph is currently 12 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the equation by reading the scenario given. When you read it, it says that Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara and since her current age is going to be used to represent x you will first get 3x. That automatically eliminates the second and third choice given. It then says the equation is for Ralph's age in four years which means to add four to the equation. This gives you 3x+4 as your equation.
When something is tripled and then in a few years it is doubled, it is easiest to first try the number that is being added. So in this case the number is four. When you multiply 4 by 3 you get 12. If Sara is 4 she'll turn eight in four years and if Ralph is 12 he'll turn 16 in four years. 16 divided by 2 is 8 which shows you that Ralph is currently 12
The answer is D if you combine like terms
1/5, 5/8, 2/3
This is the order least to greatest
Answer:
since Sonia saved 45$ in 5 weeks and 70$ in 10 weeks. we are to find the amount she saved up in x weeks.
let's make the amount y
so x= y
5 = 45 cross multiplying the values
we then have 45x= 5y
y= 7x
x=y
10=70
10x = 70y
y= 7x = y=5x+ 20, y = 20x+5
