Answer:
<u>Slope = 3</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is calculated as the "Rise/Run" of a straight line. The Rise is the change in the value of y, or the amount y changes per change in x. Run is the change in the x value. A line with a run of 3 and a rise of 9 is calculated as:
Rise/Run = 9/3 or 3
This means that the value of y will increase by 3 for every increase of 1 in the value of 3.
Slope in "m" in the slope-intercept form of a straight line equation: y = mx + b
The line y = 3x + 2 tells us the it has a slope of 3 and intercepts the y axis at x = 2.
Example points (y = 3x + 2)
(0,2)
(1,5)
(4,14)
Note that y changes by 12 when x changes by 4. Rise/Run = 12/4 or 3.
It's 0.4k + 14
Just combine like terms (:
Answer:
So that's actually not true. When comparing decimals you should compare each digit. Remember adding a 0 at the end does not change the value of the decimal. So lets look at it up and down:
remember line up the decimal to decimal
<u>1</u>.628
<u>1</u>.630
the first digit is the same. Both of these numbers are also before the decimal.
let's look at the second digit.
1.<u>6</u>28
1.<u>6</u>30
they are also the same. Both of these are also right after the decimal point.
now let's look at the third digit.
1.6<u>2</u>8
1.6<u>3</u>0
In this case, the bottom number has a higher value. Since 3>2, the bottom number is the overall biggest. Or you could look at it and say "Oh! 30 is bigger than 28!" I hope this helps you, and if this wasn't what you were looking for, oops
