algebra 1 help ASAP

Answer 1

@satellite73 @Hero

Answer 2

slope

Answer 3

y/x

Answer 4

\[\frac{ rise }{ run }\]

Answer 5

i forgot slope again :( sorry! What is the formula again? which is rise and which is run?

Answer 6

wouldn't 20 be the steepest?

Answer 7

I am really confused sorry

Answer 8

for example:
\[y = -3x + 2 \]
y - intercept: 2
\[slope = \frac{ rise }{ run } = -\frac{ 3 }{ 1 }\]

Answer 9

So it would be -3 then? If you converted -3/1 to a number? But what is the next step

Answer 10

rise -----> on y-axis

run ------> on x-axis

Answer 11

oh so it would be 3 is the rise, 1 is the run....but then what is the answer?

Answer 12

@some_someone please

Answer 13

for what?

Answer 14

I thought it would be it rises 3 feet for every 1 foot of horizontal travel but that answer isn't there

Answer 15

oh this question im really confused what the answer is

Answer 16

@Mertsj

Answer 17

the table gives you the rise and the run. It is up to you to form the fractions for each hill.

Answer 18

The first one is 40/80 which is 1/2. So the slope of the first hill is 1/2

Answer 19

What is the second one?

Answer 20

ok so you are the vertical is the rise and the horizontal is the run? In that case the second one would be 1/4

Answer 21

And what about the third one?

Answer 22

3/4

Answer 23

Now pick out the largest number...1/2 or 1/4 or 3/4 Which is biggest?

Answer 24

3/4 so the answer would be "Liberty Hill; it rises 3/4 foot for every 1 foot of horizontal travel."

Answer 25

yes 3/4 is the biggest so that hill is the steepest.
We could make a picture of the three hills.

Answer 26

Thanks! That really made sense!
