If we have the equation of a line: y=ax+b
How to find a if with only the x<span>-intercepts (called m)</span> and y-intercepts (called n)
+ First we have y=0 and x=m or 0=a*m+b or b= -a*m
+ Then we have x=0, y=n or n=a*0+b or b=n
And if m≠0 we have a= -n/m
and if m=0 this line has no slope
Well this is a hard question to answer, but this is how i would put it.
You would take a number (lets use 15) and the second number (lets use 5) would determine how many times it would go into 15. In other words, 5 time x would equal 15 (5x=15). 5, being a factor of 15, would evenly fit into 15 three times.
The rate of change is gonna be 0
15 because it’s 3 times the actual amount
