When plotting points to graph a line, why can’t we plot the slope first?

The slope of a line is also called the gradient of a line. It is the value that describes the steepness of a line.

We can not plot the slope but we calculate the slope of a given line.

The slope comes from the line. So, unless you plot the line, you may never get the slope.

What is the surface area of the box 12in 4in 3in
Slav-nsk [51]
Find the area of the base:
(4)(3) = 12sqft
Find the area of the sides:
(4)(12) = 48sqft
There are 2 bases and 4 sides, therefore:
12(2) + 48(4) = 24 + 192 = 216sqft
Hope this helps :)

The number 3.4 can be classified as
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

a rational number

Step-by-step explanation:

3.4 is a terminating decimal. That means that after the 4 in 3.4 there are no other numbers (the number "ends" after the 4) Also, 3.4 can be written as a RATIO of two numbers (looks like a fraction)

3.4 = 3 4/10 = 3 2/5

= 15/5 + 2/5

= 17/5

If you put 17÷5 in a calculator it would say 3.4

3.4 = 17/5

3.4 is a rational number.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

8 \sqrt{72}  = 8 \sqrt{3 \times 3 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2}  \\  = 8 \times 3 \times 2  \times \sqrt{2}  = 48 \sqrt{2}

the height h (in feet) of an object thrown vertically upward from a tower 144 feet tall is given by h=144+128t-16t², where t mea
Musya8 [376]
It takes 9 seconds to hit the ground.

Setting the equation equal to 0, we have:
0 = 144 + 128t - 16t²

Factoring out the GCF, we have
0 = 16(9 + 8t - t²)

Factoring out -1, we have:
0 = -16(-9 - 8t + t²)

In standard form, this is
-16(t² - 8t - 9) = 0

This is easily factorable; -9(1) = -9 and -9+1 = -8:
-16(t-9)(t+1) = 0

Using the zero product property, we know either t-9=0 or t+1=0; therefore t=9 or t=-1.  Since negative time makes no sense, t=9.

Y varies directly as x. if x =5 when y=12. find x when y=30
boyakko [2]
X = 5 ... y = 12
x = ? ... y = 30

If you would like to know the value of x when y = 30, you can calculate this using the following steps:

5 * 30 = x * 12
x * 12 =150    /12
x = 150 / 12
x = 12.5

The result is 12.5.
