slope is zero for both of them. Why?
Since slope, m = rise/run
which is m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
since y2-y1 is zero for both cases and zero divided by any number is zero therefore the slope is zero for both. hope this helps!
For the answer to the question above, Since Rachel makes 3 bracelets an hour, her linear equation should be y=3h. 3 represents the rate of change and h represents the number of hours as a variable.
Oliver's linear equation is y=2h+5 because 2 is the rate of change and 5 is the b value or the y-intercept in a linear equation y=mx+b. To find when both have the same number of bracelets, we find the point of intersection...
2h+5=3h
5=3h-2h
5=h
Therefore in 5 hours, both will have the same amount of bracelets.
The answer is 4/5 in the simplest form.
