A conversion factor originally known as unity bracket method, is a mathematical tool for converting between units of measurement. It is sometimes referred to as a unit multiplier, and consists of a fraction in which the denominator is equal to the numerator. A conversion factor is used to change the units of a measured quantity without changing its value. Because of the identity property of multiplication, the value of a number will not change as long as it is multiplied by one.Also, if the numerator and denominator of a fraction are equal to each other, then the fraction is equal to one. So as long as the numerator and denominator of the fraction are equivalent, they will not affect the value of the measured quantity. For example, Days are converted to hours, by multiplying the days by the conversion factor as 24. The conversion can be reversed by dividing, the hours, by 24 to get days; however, the reciprocal 1/24 could be considered the reverse conversion factor for an hours-to-days conversion, where 1/24 ~= 0.0416666666667. Hence, the term "conversion factor" is the multiplier which yields the result, not a divisor from that viewpoint. To yield hours, the conversion factor is 24, not 1/24, so: hours = days × 24 (multiplying by the factor). Examples of Conversion Factors Since 1 day = 24 hours = 1440 minutes, therefore 15 minutes (1 day/1440 minutes) = 15/1440 ~= 0.010416667 = ~0.01 days. Since 1 hour = 60 mins = 3600 seconds, therefore 7200 seconds = 120 mins = 2 hours.

Whats is y=1/3x+2 This is for math
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

an equation of a line

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an equation of a line. Lets walk through it.

y=1/3x+2

This is to find out what the Y coordinate would be when X is plugged in. So, if x was 6, you would take 1/3 of 6 to get 2, and add 2. The y intercept would be 4, since y=1/3(6)+2, y=2+2, y=4

Y=1/3x+2

This is what the slope is. If the slope is negative (ie. -3/4) the greater the x intercept the lower the y will be. (so if I had x=4 for a slope of -3/4, that would be y=-3/4(4)+2, y=-3+2, y=-1) But if the slope is positive (ie. 1/3) the greater the x value the greater the y value as well. (see graph attached below for positive)

Y=1/3x+2

This is the Y intercept. (This is NOT the y coordinate. This is only the coordinate of y if x=0) This number tells you where the Y intercept is. If it adds, the y intercept is positive. If it subtracts, the y intercept is negative.

Sorry if these explainations dont make sense. But, here is the graph for y=1/3x+2
