If y = 3x + 1 is changed to y = 4x + 1, how would the graph of the new function compare with

Mathematics

inn [45]2 years ago

Answer:

The graph of the new function would be steeper than the first one.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Slope-intercept form</h3>

y= mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. Note that in this form, the y term is the only term on the left-hand side of the equation and its coefficient is 1.

<h3>Identifying gradients</h3>

Since the two equations are in the slope-intercept form, we can easily identify their gradients from the coefficient of x.

The gradient of the first graph is 3, while that of the new function is 4.

<h3>Implications of a greater gradient</h3>

The gradient of a graph is how steep it is, or the change of y with respect to x. Also when we are given a linear graph without its equation, we can find its gradient using the formula:

\boxed{ slope = \frac{y _{1} - y_2 }{x_1 - x_2} }

This formula can also be written as

\boxed{ slope = \frac{rise }{run} }

These formulas imply that the gradient is the looking at how much the y- coordinate changes with respect to x. The term 'gradient' and 'slope' have the same meaning and is used interchangeably here.

Given that the new function has a greater slope, it has a greater change in y with respect to x than the first graph. Thus, we see a steeper graph when y= 3x +1 is changed to y= 4x +1.

<h3>y- intercepts</h3>

The y-intercept does not change in this case and both graphs intercept the y-axis at y= 1.

<h3>Note</h3>

In the attached graph, the first graph is represented by the red line while the graph of the new function is in blue.

(9 x 10) + (20x + 21) = 571<br><br> What does (x) equal
creativ13 [48]
(9 × 10) + (20x + 21) = 571
90 + 20x + 21 = 571
111 + 20x = 571
- 111
20x = 460
÷ 20
x = 23

Price-club sells a 12-ounce box of crackers for $2.59 and Shop Mart sells 1-pound box of crackers for $4.68. The unit price at P
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The unit price at Price-Club is $0.2158 per ounce.

The unit price at Shop Mart is $0.2925 per ounce.

Step-by-step explanation:

Price Club:

12-ounce box of crackers for $2.59

So

12 ounces - $2.59

1 ounce - x

12x = 2.59

x = \frac{2.59}{12}

x = 0.2158

The unit price at Price-Club is $0.2158 per ounce.

Shop Mart:

1-pound box of crackers for $4.68.

1 pound is 16 ounces. So

16 ounces - $4.68

1 ounce - x

16x = 4.68

x = \frac{4.68}{16}

x = 0.2925

The unit price at Shop Mart is $0.2925 per ounce.

Three sevenths of a children's choir are boys. If there are 12 boys in the choir, how many children, c, total are in the choir?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Here c represents the total number of children  in choir.

As per the statement:

Total number of boys in choir = 12

It is also given that: Three sevenths of a children's choir are boys.

⇒ Total number of boys = \frac{3}{7} c

or

12 = \frac{3}{7}c

By cross multiply we have;

84 = 3c

Divide both sides by 3 we have;

c = 28

Therefore, the total number of children in choir is 28 children

Explain why or why not 19.7 is reasonable value for the expression 122.14 divided by 6.2
evablogger [386]
Reasonable to estimate that 120/6 = 20 (because 20*6=120)...so you know it's going to be close and therefore "reasonable"
