Answer: Slope = -3/4</h3>
slope = rise/run
rise = -3 ... move down 3 units
run = 4 .... move to the right 4 units
============================================
Work Shown:
m = slope
m = rise/run
m = (change in y)/(change in x)
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-17-(-2))/(24-4)
m = (-17+2)/(24-4)
m = -15/20
m = -3/4 is the slope
----------------
It basically means "move down 3 units, and move to the right 4 units"
So, slope = rise/run = -3/4
rise = -3 = move down 3 units
run = 4 = move to the right 4
You could express the slope as a decimal, and that would be -3/4 = -0.75, but you lose the rise and run values. So I recommend you keep the fraction.
Another problem with decimals is that sometimes we could have approximations that aren't exact. For example, if the slope was 2/3, then that approximates to 0.667 which may cause rounding errors down the line. Though I should point out that decimals do have their advantages in some cases.
Given :
A squirrel climbs up a tree. She starts at 0.5 feet up the tree, then climbs at a steady pace for 7.5 seconds.
She ends 4 feet up the tree.
Solution :
Now, distance covered is :
d = 4 - 0.5 = 3.5 feet.
Time taken, t = 7.5 seconds.
Distance climbed per second is :
Therefore, distance climber per second is 0.467 feet.
Hence, this is the required solution.
25 - 18 = 7, 7/100, = 0.07, 7%
I'm not sure this is right but I believe it would be
Answer:
if you want to factorise it answer will be : (x+y)^2 - 4^2
and if you have to expand it anwer will be x^2 + y^2 + 2xy -16
