im lost
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you know what the question is asking?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no im lost on it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well we are told that in 1922, the peak covered 5 acre and in 2005 the peak covered 1 acre

out of the peak and the year... what is changing independently??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6 acre
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no no...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
when i say 'what is changing independently' i meant the years because the years are gonna keep on passing even if there is no more acres...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
in other words the rate at which the peak is covered DEPENDS on the years that has passed

OpenStudy (anonymous):
huh?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1922-2005= -83
OpenStudy (anonymous):
slow down an dlet me explain...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and let*

now that we know that the years in our independent values, it goes in the x-axis... and the acres in the y axis
OpenStudy (anonymous):
giving us a graph that looks like this
|dw:1376005712219:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you understand how i got this graph?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok... when you get a question about rat of change, they are always taking about gradient...

OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you know how to work out the gradient(steepness) of that line?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no im lost
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok... listen...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to find the steepness of a line, you divide the difference in y co-ordinate by the difference in x co-ordinate
OpenStudy (anonymous):
in other words\[gradient = \frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
what is the difference in the y co-ordinate of that line?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@sexybadass22 you there?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
|dw:1376006145151:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes -38/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not really

first just do the y co-ordinate of 2005 - the y co-ordinate of 1992 to find the difference in y co-ordinate...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok im lost
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry the graph has a minor fault.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
where did you get lost?

all im dumb
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no... dont say that.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
P.M.A.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Positive Mental Attitude... you always gotta have one..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok... i will also teach you how to find differences between two number.

Do you have a P.M.A. now?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i will keep on writing cause i know you can get this...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for example, if i say what is the difference between 10 and 2, I'm asking for the distance between those two number
OpenStudy (anonymous):
|dw:1376006656874:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hence the difference is 8

what is P.M.A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
PMA is an acronym for Positive Mental Attitude...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how to get one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It's something that I think helps when doing any problem..
