Answer:

270 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

60 * 4.5 = 270

Each inch is equal to 60 miles. You can set up a ratio like this.

$\frac{1}{60} = \frac{4.5}{x}$

Cross multiply to solve for x (or use a calculator).

x = 270

Note in our equation that the denominators are miles and numerators are inches. These much match or else you will get an incorrect answer.

What is the slope of the line?<br> y=54x−13π

Grace [21]

If the equation is in the form of y = mx + C, where m and C are real numbers, the slope (which means gradient) of the line is the coefficient of x (I.e. the number to the left of x in simple language), which is m.

In this case, m = 54 and C = -13pie. Both are real numbers, which means that this equation satisfies the form of y = mx + C

m is the coefficient of x, which is 54. 54 is the gradient of this line, which means that for every 54 y-axis units the line increases, the line increases 1 x-axis unit.

Hope this helps! :)
