When graphing, its how much you rise and run
thats the formula when u have a graph and the question is asking for the slope.
you chose a point, and go down or up however many times it goes to the next point, and you run to the left however many times it gets you to get to that point.
if the line goes downward the slope is therefore negative, and if the line goes upward, the slope is therefore, positive.
m in math is meant to be slope, so m= \frac{rise}{run}

Answer: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: In algebra, we use the word <em>slope</em> to describe how steep a line is. Slope can be found using the ratio <em>rise/run</em> between any two points that are on that line.

For the line in the image provided, let's use the points A and B to find its slope. To get from point A to point B on this line, we would rise 1 unit and run 3 units. So the slope of this line or its rise over run is 1/3.

The variable that is used to represent slope is <em>m</em>. So for this line we would say that m = 1/3. It's important to understand that no matter what two points you choose along this line, the slope or rise over run can always be simplified to 1/3.

Answer: The answer is Yes. A square is a rectangle because it possesses all the properties of a rectangle. These properties are: Interior angles measure 90∘ each.

Explanation:

Definition of a Rectangle:

A 4-sided flat shape with straight sides where all interior angles are right angles (90°).

Also, opposite sides are parallel and of equal length.

Definition of a Square:

A 4-sided flat shape with straight sides where all interior angles are right angles (90°).

Also, all sides have equal length

As you can see the first part of the definition of a square and rectangle are the same.

However, a square is a special case of a rectangle.

When all 4 sides of a rectangle are equal then the rectangle is a square.

So, a rectangle can also sometimes be a square.

Frank is making a pennant in the shape of a triangle for his senior class photo. He wants the base length of this triangle to be
Sav [38]

Answer:

Height should be ≤ 9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Frank is making a pennant in the shape of a triangle for his senior class photo.

Base of triangle = 6 in

Area of triangle ≤ 27 in^2

Let height of the triangle be h

Now we now that,

Area of triangle = \frac{1}{2}\times base \times height

\frac{1}{2}\times 6 \times h \leq 27\\\\3h\leq 27\\\\h\leq \frac{27}{3}\\\\h\leq 9 \ in.

Hence the height of the triangle must be at most or ≤ 9 inches.

Graph the equation <br> Y =1.5^x
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The number being multiplied by

x

is the slope of the line. So, the slope of the line is calculated by rise/run. The rise is how up or down it goes from a certain point to another, and the run is how right or left it goes from a certain point to the other.
