The slope of a line is defined as rise by run i.e. how much y value changes with respect to the change in x value. So the slope gives the steepness of the line.

Slope 0 indicates there is no change in y when the x value is changed and so the line with slope 0 is a horizontal line. A line with slope 1 shows with 1 unit change in x, y changes by 1 unit. Likewise slope equal 2 indicates with 1 unit change in x, y changes by 2 units.

We can see as the absolute value of slope is increasing, the change in y with respect to x is increasing i.e. the line is becoming more tilted or steep.

Hence, we can conclude that:
The graph of a line gets Steeper as the absolute value of the slope gets bigger.
C is the correct answer.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Considering the graph of the velocity of the car, it is found that the interval in which it was stopped at a traffic light was:

Between 3 and 4 minutes.

<h3>When is a car stopped at a traffic light?</h3>

When a car is stopped at a traffic light, the car is not moving, that is, it's velocity is of zero.

In this problem, the graph gives the <u>velocity as a function of time</u>, and it is at zero between 3 and 4 minutes, hence the interval in which it was stopped at a traffic light was:

Between 3 and 4 minutes.

How does the percent equation relate proportional quantities?

Julli [10]

Answer:

Use cross product to determine if the two ratios form a proportion. Here we can see that 2/16 and 5/40 are proportions since their cross products are equal. Percent means hundredths or per hundred and is written with the symbol, %. Percent is a ratio were we compare numbers to 100 which means that 1% is 1/100.

jake has a bag of 50 beads, of which some are red and the remaining are yellow. jake randomly pulls out a bead from the bag, rec

ivann1987 [24]

Let the number of red beads be x, then the number of yellow beads is 50 - x.
Then, 6/9 = x/(50 - x)
9x = 6(50 - x) = 300 - 6x
15x = 300
x = 300/15 = 20

Therefore, we expect 20 red beads in the bag.

To avoid a storm, a passenger-jet pilot descended 0.68 mile in 0.8 minute. What was the plane's average change of altitude per m

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

0.85 m

Step-by-step explanation:

0.68/8=A decent of 0.085 miles per 0.1 minute

So per minute 0.085x10 =0.85, our plane will have a change of 0.85 m in altitude
