I do not get slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Slope just tells you how much your output changes as your input changes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if you have a slope of 2/3. That means each time your input changes by 3, your output changes by 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with a problem ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4x ^{2}-3x+12-2x ^{2}+7x+16=\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This isn't really slope related. You just need to combine your 'like' terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have four \(x^2\)'s and you're taking away two \(x^2\)'s. How many \(x^2\)'s will be left?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have 7x's and you're taking away 3x's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x^(2)? and 4x^{2}?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2\(x^2\) and 4x, and 16 and 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's 16 and 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

28

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so what's your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha wait so my answer is \[2x ^{2}+4x+28\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh! wow so how do i show the work lol.. but thankss !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just move the things around. \[4x ^{2}-3x+12-2x ^{2}+7x+16\] \[= 4x^2 - 2x^2 + 7x -3x +12 + 16\] \[= 2x^2 + 4x + 28\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankss so much
