Mathematics

Answer:

The variable <em>b</em><em> </em>represents the y-intercept, where the line intersects the y-axis.

The variable <em>m</em><em> </em>represents the <em>rate of</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em> </em>[<em>slope</em>]. The formula for the slope is down below:

\frac{-y_1 + y_2}{-x_1 + x_2} = m

This is another way of saying \frac{rise}{run}.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

In the slope intercept formula

m is the slope  (\frac{rise}{run})

b is the y-intercept (the y-value of where the line intersects the y-axis)

At a shelter, 15% of the dogs are puppies. there are 60 dogs at the shelter. How many are puppies?
frutty [35]
So for this you need to find 15% of 60. There are a few ways to do this but I prefer to do it like this.

First, find 10% of 60. This can be found by dividing 60 by 10, because 100%/10% is 10.

This gives 10%=6

5% is half of 10%, so divide your answer for 10% (6), by 2.

This gives 5%=3

We needed 15%, so we add our 10% and 5% together, to get 9.

15% of 60 is 9, meaning there are 9 puppies.

Hope this helps!
