Answer:

Step 1:

Plot and label 2 points on the line, anywhere on the line of course. Remember that the slope of a line never changes, so you can choose whatever 2 points on the graph you want and you will always get the same slope.

Step 2:

Calculate the rise and run (It is easier to draw it on the graph in my opinion)

Step 3:

Use the slope formula.

As an example, lets say the slop is 2/4, which you can simplify it down to 1/2 to make it easier of course.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

If the graph is rising from left to right, like climbing a hill, the slope is positive (on a graph, you could count up y units divided by right x units). If it is going down from left to right (like sliding down a hill), the slope is negative (on a graph you have to count down y units and right x units). Does this help?

Answer:

factors are 5, 6, a, 11, b

Step-by-step explanation:

3) 5 + 6a + 11b

Algebraic expressions: 5 + 6a + 11b 

Are combinations of numbers, variables, and at least one arithmetic.

Term are: 5, 6a, 11b

Each expression is made up of terms. A term can be a signed number, a variable, or a constant multiplied by a variable(s).

Factors are: 5, 6, a, 11, b

Something which is multiplied by something else. A factor can be a variable, number, a term, or a longer expression.

Coefficient: 6, 11

The numerical factor of a multiplication expression that contains a variable.

Constant: 5 

A number that cannot change its value.

A 70ft ladder is mounted 10ft above the ground on a fire truck. The bottom of the ladder is 40ft from the wall of a building.the

Please refer to my attachments for visual guidelines.
We are going to solve your problem by using the pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs of the triangle, and c is the hypotenuse (the longest side).

The length of the ladder is equal to 70ft (hypotenuse); one leg is the distance between the wall and the bottom of the ladder - 40 ft, the other leg is unknown for it is the distance between 10 ft above the ground and the top of the ladder-represented by "x". Using pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^=c^2, we have x^2+40^2 = 70^2. Solving the exponents, we have x^2 + 1600 = 4900.

Isolating the variable x, we have x^2 = 4900-1600. Futher simplying, x^2 = 3300. Thus, x = √3300 or 57.4456264654 ft.

Adding 10 ft to x, therefore, the top of the leadder is 67.4456264654 ft off the ground.
