Our equation for this table could be an equation in slope-intercept form:
y=mx+b
m=slope of the line:
b=y-intercept.
1) we have to calculate the slope of this line.
We need two points, you can choose two points of this table, for example:
the points (4,6) and (10,15)
m=(y-y₀)/(x-x₀)
m=(15-6)/(10-4)
m=9/6
m=3/2
2) we have to find "b";
We have this equation:
y=3/2 x +b
Now, we choose any point of this table; For example (8,12), now we find "b",
y=3/2 x+b
12=3/2 (8)+b
12=12+b
b=12-12
b=0
Therefore: the equation would be y=3/2 x
More easy:
if y vary directly with x, then: y=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) x
You choose any two points of this table:
(8,12)
(10,15)
y=(15-12)/(10-8) x
y=3/2 x
Answer: y=3/2 x
Divide the amount of gravel in the 5/6 pound mixture:
1/4 / 5/6 = 1/4 * 6/5 = 6/20 = 3/10 pounds
What is the number line i'm sorry but i can help without a number line that this question is based off of.
I think the alternative b is
Answer:
less than
Step-by-step explanation:
Think about it as if it was on the number line. What ever is further to the right is greater. This make 0.2 less that 0.4.
