i need help with the file i add pl look at it help me I WILL AWARD MEDAL!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pl look at it help me I WILL AWARD MEDAL!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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):

78

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1922-2005= -83

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slow down an dlet me explain...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and let*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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):

|dw:1376006350902:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did you get lost?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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..
