We call m the slope<span> or gradient of the </span>line<span>. It </span>represents<span> the change in y-value </span>per<span> unit change in x-value. For example, consider the </span>line<span> given by the equation y = 2x + 1. Here are some points on the </span>line<span>. ~hope that helps</span>
<span>To find the number of nickels and dimes, we can use this equation: 0.10d + 0.05n = 5.25
We are given the information that Sonji has 21 dimes (which means that d=21). We can use the equation to find the number of nickels n.
0.10d + 0.05n = 5.25
0.10(21) + 0.05n = 5.25
2.10 + 0.05n = 5.25
0.05n = 3.15
n = 3.15 / 0.05
n = 315 / 5
n = 63
Sonji has 63 nickels.
Let's check our answer.
21(0.10) + 63(0.05) = 2.10 + 3.15 = 5.25
It seems that our answer is correct.</span>
A. 9.3 x 10^7 miles
B. 4 x 10^-2 inches
C. 5.89248 x 10^12 inches
D. 1.47312 x 10^14 fireflies
