What is the slope of the line shown below? PLEASE HELP

Mathematics
1 answer:
NikAS [45]3 years ago

Answer:

C. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The grid markings are the same distance apart in the x- and y-directions, so a line with slope 1 will make a 45° angle with the x-axis. Your line is steeper than that, so has a slope more than 1.

Your line goes up to the right, so its slope is positive.

The only answer choice that is a positive number more than 1 is ...

... C. 2

_____

The slope is computed as the ratio of rise (vertical change) to run (horizontal change). The two marked points tell you the vertical change is from y=-4 to y=6, a change of 6-(-4) = 10. The horizontal change is from x=1 to x=6, a change of 6-1 = 5.

Then the ratio of rise to run is 10/5 = 2. This matches answer C.

Im doing decimals greatest to least and i need help with number 12 and 13
erma4kov [3.2K]

(I know there isnt any real problem here to solve, but heres a tip on how to solve greatest to least with decimal problems)

1. Just because a number looks big, doesn't mean it is big

Example: 1.00000000000001 < 1.1

just look at the numbers ^ and dont just hastily read it over assuming that 1.1 is smaller because it "has less digits"

2. Negative numbers are... opposite. and they are less than positive numbers

-3.4 > -4.1

Why is this? Well, if you look on a line, with the point 0 in the middle, you can see that -3.4 is not as far away from 0 as -4.1 is. So the idea is to apply opposite logic for negative numbers

I hope these tips helped!! :D

What is the slope of line a?
marta [7]

Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as "rise over run". If you count out the units, you should be able to see that your rise is 1 and your run is 3 and is pointing downward, so your answer is -1/3.

Alternatively you could use Slope Formula: m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Find the midpoint P(16,7) and Q(12, -3) With work.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

(14, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the midpoint formula

[0.5(x₁ + x₂), 0.5(y₁ + y₂) ]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (16, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (12, - 3)

midpoint = [0.5(16 + 12), 0.5(7 - 3) ] = [0.5(28), 0.5(4) ] = (14, 2 )
