Answer:

noun

a surface of which one end or side is at a higher level than another; a rising or falling surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

steepness

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x)

step one: identify two points on the line

step two: select one to be (x1,y1) and the other to be (x2,y2)

step three: use the slope equation calulate slope

2x-3=8+7(+3)

2y-3(+3)=8x+7(+3)

2y=8x+10

----- --------

2y=8x+10

y=4x+5

Answer:

m=4

Amelia runs a farm stand that sells strawberries and peaches. Each pound of strawberries sells for $1 and each pound of peaches

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

14 pounds of strawberries and 42 pounds of peaches are sold

$182= x(1) + y(4)--------A

or 182= x(1) +3x(4)------- B

182=x+12x

182/13=x

x=14

a computer and printer a totoal cost $1132 the cost of the computer is three times the cost of the ptinter

zavuch27 [327]

Use a system of equations

C+P=1132
3P=C

Substitute C in first equation as
3P+P=1132
Simplify
4P=1132
Solve
P=1132/4
P=283

NOW SOLVE FOR C SUBSTITUTING P VALUE IN FIRST EQUATION

C+283=1132
C=1132-283
C=849

Printer = 283$
Computer = 849$

In a certain function, y varies directly with x. If y = 6 when x = 8, find x when y = 9.

Hatshy [7]

If y = 6 when x = 8, then value of "x" when y = 9 is equal to 12

Solution:

Given that , In a certain function, y varies directly with x

And x = 8 when y = 6,

We have to find what will be the value of x when y = 9

Now, from the given information,

$\begin{array}{l}{y \alpha x} \\\\ {y=c x \rightarrow(1)}\end{array}$

where c is the proportionality constant

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Now, substitute } x=8 \text { and } y=6 \text { in }(1)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 8=c(6) \rightarrow c=\frac{8}{6}} \\\\ {\rightarrow c=\frac{4}{3}} \\\\ {\text { Then, }(1) \rightarrow x=\frac{4}{3} y} \\\\ {\text { So, when } y=9} \\\\ {\rightarrow x=\frac{4}{3}(9)} \\\\ {\rightarrow x=4 \times 3} \\\\ {\rightarrow x=12}\end{array}$

Hence, x value is 12 when y value is 9
