What is slope when talking about math

Mathematics

dolphi86 [110]3 years ago

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.

The distance between the points (12,9) and (0,4) is A) 14 units B) 13 units C) 15 units D) 16 units
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Option B  13 units is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used to find distance between 2 points is:

d(P1,P2)=\sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^2 + (y_{2} -y_{1})^2 }

x₁ = 12 x₂ = 0 y₁= 9 and y₂=4

Putting values in the formula:

=\sqrt{(0-12)^2+(4-9)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-12)^2+(-5)^2}\\=\sqrt{144+25} \\=\sqrt{169} \\=13

So, Option B 13 units is correct.

I’m the triangle shown below what is the approximate value of x
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The answer is choice B: 22.52 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagoras's theorem which says for a right triangle with sides x,y and hypotenuse z:

x^2+y^2=z^2.

In our case

z=26

y=13

So we solve for x:

x=\sqrt{z^2-y^2}=\sqrt{26^2-13^2}  =\boxed{22.52\: units.}

Which is choice B.

Hi who can help me do this 2quetion,I will mark brainlest ​
hodyreva [135]

Step-by-step explanation:

8.  log_{10}(2.15)   = 0.332 \: then \:   log_{10}(21500)   = ..... \\  log(21500)  =  log(2.15 \times 10000)  \\   =  log(2.15)  +  log(10000)  \\   = log_{10}(2.15)  +  log_{10}( {10}^{4} )  \\  = 0.332 + 4 log_{10}(10)  \\  = 0.332 + 4(1) \\  log_{10}(21500)  = 4.332

9. log(2)=a, log(3)=b, then log(36)=______

log(36) = log(6*6) = log(6) + log(6)

log(36)= log(6) + log(6)

log(36) = log(3*2) + log(3*2)

log(36) = (log(3) + log(2)) + (log(3) + log(2))

log(36) = (a + b) + (b + a)

log(36) = a + b + b + a

log(36) = 2a + 2b
