(intro) Slope is change in y divided by change in x (axes). Here, the y axis is depth and the x axis is hours. So, the slope is change in depth between any two points, divided by the change in hours between the same points. The slope of this line is half a foot depth divided by 2 hours.
a) So, the slope is 0.5 / 2 = 0.25, or 1/4.
b) The graph shows a constant rate of change because the line is straight (it increases at the same speed. If the line was curving, it would not be a constant rate of change).
c) Yes, because the line has a constant rate of change now.
Answer:
a. 1/10 or 10%
b. 1/2 or 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the combination of machines 1, 2 and 3 produce 100% of the total output when added together, then the probability of choosing a bolt at random that is defective is: 5 + 2 + 3 = 10% out of 100% or 10/100, which is 1/10 or 10%.
If the bolt that is choosen at random is defective, than the probability that it came from machine 1 is 5/10 or 1/2 which is also 50%.
Answer:
11/4 or 2.75 pints
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the difference between the original amount of blueberries and the amount she ate
original amount-amount ate
3 1/2 -3/4
To subtract, we need common denominators
The common denominator of 2 and 4 is 4
3 1/2=7/2
Multiply by 2/2 to get a common denominator of 4
7/2*2/2=14/4
Now, we have common denominators and can subtract
14/4-3/4
Subtract the numerators, and leave the denominators as 4
11/4 =2.75
She has 11/4 or 2.75 pints left
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the slope-intercept is y =3x-4
