Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is the ratio of the vertical and horizontal changes between two points on a surface or a line.

If coordinates of any two points of a line are given then the rate of change is the ratio of the change in the y-coordinates to the change in the x-coordinates.

A 51 foot piece of wire is cut into 3 sections so that the first section is three times as long as the second section and the se

kirill [66]

Answer:

The length of the longest section x = 36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the wire = 51 ft

Let first section of wire = x

Second section of wire = y

Third section of wire = z

According to given data

x = 3 y & y = 4 z

Total length of the wire = x + y + z = 51

$y + 3 y + \frac{y}{4} = 51$

$\frac{17}{4} y = 51$

y = 12

x = 3 × 12 = 36

$z = \frac{y}{4} = \frac{12}{4} = 3$

Therefore the length of the longest section x = 36 ft

Help please! the graph below

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is basically just the slope, so the answer is 1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Count how many Y units it goes up to get the the black point from (0,0) (the origin). You go up 1 unit to go 6 units to the right meaning the slope is 1/6.

That is the rise over run technique and there are many others, such as point slope form, and y2-y1 over x2-x1.

Hope this helps!
