Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find two clear points on this line. These points are shown by two black dots on the line.

Their coordinates are:

(0, -3) and (2, 1)

Now we want to use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in the coordinates we just found.

(1 - (-3)) / (2 - 0)

Simplify the parentheses.

= (1 + 3) / (2)

= (4) / (2)

Simplify the fraction.

4/2

= 2

This is your slope.

Hope this helps!

The graph below shows the water level of a tank that is emptying over time.

Allisa [31]

From inspecting the graph, you can identify the y-intercept and the slope of the line shown.

The y-intercept is 200 gallons.
The slope is

75-200
m = ------------- = -12.5 gallons/minute
10 - 0

Thus, y = 200 gallons - [12.5 gallons/minute ]t

To answer the 2nd question, let t = 12 minutes and calculate y(12).

To determine how long it wld take to empty the tank, set the above formula equal to zero and solve the resulting equation for t.

Cameron is flying 8,000 feet above sea level. Directly below her, she sees a whale 50 feet below sea level. Which absolute value

Leona [35]

Answer 8,050
Reason the absolute value of 8000 is 8000. The absolute value of negative 50 is 50. 8000+ 50= 8,050

A nature center offers 2 guided walks. The morning walk is two-third mile. The evening walk is three-sixths mile. Which walk is

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Evening walk is shorter.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a nature center offers 2 guided walks. The morning walk is two-third mile. The evening walk is three-sixths mile. We are asked to find the shorter walk.

Let us compare both fractions by making the same denominator.

$\text{Two-thirds}=\frac{2}{3}$

$\text{Two-thirds}=\frac{2\times2}{3\times2}$

$\text{Two-thirds}=\frac{4}{6}$

$\text{Three-sixth}=\frac{3}{6}$

Upon making common denominator, we can see that two-thirds are equal to four sixths.

Since three-sixths is less than four-sixths, therefore, evening walk is shorter.

We will draw two rectangles, one with 6 sub-parts and other with three sub-parts.

We will shade 2 parts out of 3 sub-parts to represent 2/3 and shade 3 parts out of 6 sub-parts to represent 3/6.

Then we will further divide three sub-parts into 6 sub-parts as shown in the diagram that will represent 4/6.
