It's how far a number is from 0.
( ex.) 6 is 6 away from 0 but so is -6; so the absolute value of 6 is 6 and the absolute value of -6 is 6. the symbol "|" is placed on either side to mean absolute value.
(ex.2) |-6| = 6. -|-6|= -6. |6|=6. and -|6|= -6.
if the negative sign is outside of the symbol then the number will always be negative but if there is no negative sign outside of the symbol it will always be positive, even if it looks lile this. |-6| it would still be positive.
Answer:
B) y=3x+7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the data in the table can be obtained by using any two points.
We will use points (3, 13) and (5,17)
<u>The slope - intercept form is: </u>
<u>We find the slope as:</u>
- m = (17-13)/(5-3) = 4/2 = 2
<u>The equation becomes:</u>
<u>To find the value of b, the y -intercept is:</u>
- 13 = 2*3 + b ⇒ b= 13 - 6 = 7
<u>So the equation is:</u>
<u />
<h3>Now let's compare this with the options</h3>
A) y = 2x + 8.5
- The slope is 2, and y- intercept is 8.5
- It has same slope and greater y-intercept
- Answer is <u>no</u>
B) y=3x+7.5
- The slope is 3, and y- intercept is 7.5
- It has greater slope and greater y-intercept
- Answer is <u>yes</u>
C) y=5x+6.5
- The slope is 5, and y- intercept is 7.5
- It has greater slope but smaller y-intercept
- Answer is <u>no</u>
D) y=10x+5.5
- The slope is 10, and y- intercept is 5.5
- It has greater slope but smaller y-intercept
- Answer is <u>no</u>
Answer: 2/3 as 4/5 is smaller amount than 2/3.
Answer:
Try subtracting 9 from 7 to find the value.
