What is the slope of y = -1

Mathematics

Slope is rise/run.

y=-1 is a horizontal line where the y value is always one no matter what x is.

Therefore the rise is 0 and run is infinite

so 0/infinity=0 because 0/anything=0.

One thing I want to note is if you have a vertical line, where rise is infinite, and run is 0 infinite/0=undefined because you can't divide by 0 :-)

Diego said that the awnser to the question "How many groups of 5/6 are in 1?" Is 6/5 or 1 1/5.Do you agree with his statement? E

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Diego is correct.

He has correctly divided 1 in groups of $\frac{5}{6}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The question 'How many groups of 5/6 are in 1?' means that we need to divided 1 into groups of $\\frac{5}{6}$ .

When we form groups from a given total, we divided the total by the size of the group.

If we are dividing $N$ number of people in groups of $x$ number of people, then the expression to find the number of groups formed can be given as:

⇒ $\frac{N}{x}$

For this question the data given is:

$N=1$

$x=\frac{5}{6}$

So, the number of groups formed can be given as:

⇒ $\frac{1}{\frac{5}{6}}$

When divisor is a fraction, then we multiply the reciprocal of the divisor with the dividend.

⇒ $1\times\frac{6}{5}$

⇒ $\frac{6}{5}$

In order to convert fraction to mixed number we will divide numerator with denominator and then write the quotient as whole number, remainder as numerator and the denominator remains as it is.

On dividing 6 by 5, the quotient =1 and remainder =1. Thus the mized number is:

⇒ $1\frac{1}{5}$

Thus, there are $\frac{6}{5}$ or $1\frac{1}{5}$ groups in 1. This matches with Diego's answer and hence he is correct.

To solve a system of inequalities, you just need to graph each inequality and see wich points are in the overlap of the graphs.

GrogVix [38]

<h3>Answer: True</h3>

This is often how many math teachers and textbooks approach problems like this. The overlapped region is the region in which satisfies every inequality in the system. Be sure to note the boundary of each region whether you're dealing with a dashed line or a solid line. Dashed lines mean points on the boundary do not count as solution points, whereas solid boundaries allow those points as part of the solution set.

Side note: This is assuming you're dealing with 2 variable inequalities. If you only have one variable, you don't need to graph and instead could use algebra. Graphing doesn't hurt though.
