In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.
y = mx + b
y = 2x + 15
slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15
The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2
example :
baskets picked in 1 hr :
y = 2(1) + 15
y = 2 + 15
y = 17
baskets picked in 2 hrs :
y = 2(2) + 15
y = 4 + 15
y = 19
so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.
The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the problem is asking you to factor out the formula, it can be done easily by finding a common number with the two givens.
4 goes into both 12 and 16 evenly, so we will use this to factor. But that's not all, we have the n-variable to worry about.
Look at the n-variable exponents in the problem, take the highest power that can go be subtracted from both and use that. We have a
and
. Since 5 can't go into 3, we must use 3 to factor.
Our factoring variable will therefore be
. Now, use this to simply divide and get the answer:

So how did we get this? For the whole numbers, we have to divide: (12/4, 16/4). Next, we have to minus the exponents since we are dividing.
When dividing the 12 and 4, minus the
and
to get
. Get rid of the
term for the 16 and leave the 4. And there's your answer!
Answer:
The entire area of the sailboat is 60cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the area of this shape by breaking it down into simpler shapes and adding up their individual areas.
In this case, the areas we'll use are the rectangle at the bottom, and the pair of triangles at the top.
Because the two triangles can be put together to form a single triangle, we don't need to measure them independently. We can simply take the total length of their bases, multiply it by their height, and divide by two. This follows the rule that the area of a triangle is equal to the area of the square that contains it divided by two.
(2cm + 3cm) × 6cm
= 5cm × 6cm
= 30cm²
The rectangle's area is of course equal to its width times its height, so we can say:
2.5cm × 12cm
= 30cm²
The total area of the shapes then is 30cm² + 30 cm², giving us a total area of 60cm²
everything is equivalent except 20/36
