If you graph this, your first point will be at (0,5), as the ramp is at the warehouse door but 5 feet up. The second point is (10,0) as it is touching the ground but it's 10 feet away from the warehouse.
To find slope, you do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
When substituting in the variables, you get (0-5)/(10-0), which is -5/10, which is simplified to -1/2. Of course, that is when the warehouse is Quadrant II. If you look at it from another point of view, the slope will be positive so your answer is A) 1/2.

N the slope-intercept form you use the slope of the line and the y-intercept to express the linear function.
y=mx+b
y=mx+b
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Example
Graph the equation
y−2x=1
y−2x=1
rewrite in slope-intercept form
y=2x+1
y=2x+1
Identify the slope and the y-intercept
m = 2 and b = 1
Plot the point corresponding to the y-intercept, (0,1)
picture23
The m-value, the slope, tells us that for each step to the right on the x-axis we move 2 steps upwards on the y-axis (since m = 2)
picture24
And once you have your second point you can just draw a line through the two points and extend it in both directions.
picture25
You can check to see that the line you've drawn is the correct one by substituting the coordinates of the second point into the original equation. If the equation holds true than the second point is correct.
Our second point = (1, 3)
y−2x=1
y−2x=1
3−2⋅1=3−2=1
3−2⋅1=3−2=1
Our second point is a solution to the equation i.e. the line we drew is correct.
A line that passes through the origin has a y-intersect of zero, b = 0, and represents a direct variation.
y=mx
y=mx
In a direct variation the nonzero number m is called the constant of variation.
You can name a function, f by using the function notion
f(x)=mx+b
f(x)=mx+b
f(x) is another name for y and is read as "the value of f at x" or "f of x". You can use other letters than f to name functions.
A group of functions that have similar characteristics are called a family of functions. All functions that can be written on the form f(x) = mx + b belong to the family of linear functions.
The most basic function in a family of functions is called the parent function. The parent function of all linear functions is
f(x)=x

Find the area to the nearest square foot of the shaded region below, consisting of a square with a circle cut out of it. Use 3.1
NeTakaya

Answer:

22 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of shaded region = Area of square - Area of circle. The diameter of the circle is also the length of the side of the square as the circumference of the circle is on the circumference of the square.

Area of circle = 3.14 × r × r

r = 10 ÷ 2

= 5

Area of circle = 3.14 × 5 × 5

= 78.5

Area of square = length × length

Area of square = 10 × 10

= 100

Area of shaded region = Square - Circle

= 100 - 78.5

= 21.5

= 22 (to the nearest square foot)

I hope this helps :)

Mr. Soto plans to open a savings account. Four banks offer the annual interest rates shown. Which list shows these interest rate
Delvig [45]
Ok, so IDK if I'm about to do this problem right, but here we go;


so first, lets change these all to decimals (I more of a decimal gal)

3 1/2 = 3.5
3 2/3 = 3.6666 (repeating)
3 3/5 = 3.6
3 3/8 = 3.375

So now, just order them from greatest to least.  

3.66666, 3.6, 3.5, 3.375.  

Now, change them back to fractions.  
3 2/3, 3 3/5, 3 1/2, 3 3/8


So, if I'm correct, the answer is 3 2/3%, 3 3/5%, 3 1/2%, 3 3/8%
Hopefully I solved your problem!
