well kind of, it is the slope which means the rate at which something grows or how fast it is

The "m" in y = mx + b is the <u>slope.</u>

It is the number of units a point goes up, down, left, or right each time. Making the line linear/straight.

m = \frac{rise}{run}

"rise" is the the number of units you go up(+) or down(-), "run" is the number of units you go to the right


For example, if your slope is:

\frac{1}{2}

You are going up 1 unit, and to the right 2 units


3 or \frac{3}{1}

You are going up 3 units, and to the right 1 unit


-\frac{1}{2}

You are going down one unit, and to the right 2 units


-3 or -\frac{3}{1}

You are going down 3 units, and to the right 1 unit

What are the vertical and horizontal asymptotes for the function f(x)=<br> 3x2/x2-4
Alecsey [184]

Answer:  f(x) will have vertical asymptotes at x=-2 and x=2 and horizontal asymptote at y=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function: f(x)=\dfrac{3x^2}{x^2-4}

The vertical asymptote occurs for those values of x which make function indeterminate or denominator 0.

i.e. x^2-4=0\Rightarrow\ x^2=4\Rightarrow\ x=\pm2

Hence, f(x) will have vertical asymptotes at x=-2 and x=2.

To find the horizontal asymptote , we can see that the degree of numerator and denominator is same i.e. 2.

So, the graph will horizontal asymptote at y=\dfrac{\text{Coefficient of }x^2\text{ in numerator}}{\text{Coefficient of }x^2\text{ in denominator}}

i.e. y=\dfrac{3}{1}=3

Hence, f(x) will have horizontal asymptote at y=3.

A train has equal number of seats in each carriage.
Lerok [7]

The train has 12 carriages

Step-by-step explanation:

The total no. of seats =876

No. of seats per carriage =73

It is given that each carriage has equal seats

So,

Let the total no. of carriages be x

According to the given information,

73 \times x = 876

x = 876 \div 73

x = 12

Hence the number of carriages is 12
