Answer: 4

<em><u>NOTE: ONLY REFER FIRST METHOD IF YOU ARE FROM CLASSES BELOW 5TH GRADE AND IF YOU KNOW THEM BOTH ITS OK.</u></em>

First we list factors of both 28 & 78

28: 1,2,4,7,14,28

78: 1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72

Now the common factors are, 1,2,4

And we know that 1<2<4

And thus 4 is the highest common factor

Another way is prime factorisation:

In this method, we need to find the prime factors of both the given numbers and find out the common factors and mutiply them.

So, 28: 2*2*7 and 72: 2*2*2*3*3

In now we see that, 2*2 is common in both common prime factors of both 28&72, Thus we get 2*2, And after solving it we get the highest common factor as 4

Draw a line representing the “rise” and a line representing the “run” of the line. State the slope of the line in simplest form.

Oksanka [162]

The slope of the line in its simplest form is 3.

The slope of a line is $Slope=\frac{Rise}{Run}$ .

We need to find the slope of the line in its simplest form.

<h3>What is the slope?</h3>

In mathematics, the slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line. The slope is often denoted by the letter m; there is no clear answer to the question of why the letter m is used for slope.

Select any two points on the line like A and B.

From the below figure it is clear that

Rise = Change in y = -2-(-5) = 3

Run = Change in x = 9-0 = 9

Now, $\frac{9}{3} =3$

Therefore, the slope of the line in simplest form is 3.

Which equation represents a proportional relationship between the x and y values?

Airida [17]

Answer:

D) $y=-2x$

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear relationship is of the form $y=mx+b$ , where, $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept (constant).

For a proportional relationship, the value of $b=0$ and thus it is of the form $y=mx$

Let us check each option and express it in the form above.

Option A:

$y=2$

This can be written as $y=0x+2$ . So, $b\ne 0$ .

Since, b \ne 0, therefore, it is not a proportional relationship.

Option B:

$y=14x+1$

Here, $b=1$ . So, $b\ne 0$ .

Since, b \ne 0, therefore, it is not a proportional relationship.

Option C:

$y=x-4$

Here, $b=-4$ . So, $b\ne 0$ .

Since, b \ne 0, therefore, it is not a proportional relationship.

Option D:

$y=-2x$

This can be rewritten as $y=-2x+0$

There is no y-intercept on this. So, $b=0$

Since, $b = 0$ , therefore, it is a proportional relationship.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
