Answer:

The growth rate of the linear equation

Step-by-step explanation:

In a linear equation the slope is represented as the "m" variable in the equation. It can be a positive or negative number, even a decimal or a fraction! Yet every "y" value will change based on the "x" value that is being multiplied by the value of the slope.

I hope this help you understand. If not don't be afraid to comment or ask questions

Answer:

A or $\frac{1}{2}x +2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember y=mx+b | m = slope & b = y intercept

Think back of rise over run. Where the rise is 1 and 2 is run. Now Also, lets not forget the y intercept which you can easily obtain by looking where the line intercepts the y axis. Which in this case it would be 2.

The length of a rectangle is 8 m more than 6 times the width. The perimeter is 156 m. Find width.

Alla [95]

<span>width = x
</span><span>length = 6x + 8

x + 6x + 8 = 156/2
7x + 8 = 78
7x = 78 - 8
7x = 70
x = 70/7
x = 10 m </span>← width
