Answer 1

well there's more than 2 lines in there, but they all appear to have the same slope

Answer 2

i got the slope to be 3 but then im confused about what to do next. Like i know the heights change by 4

Answer 3

then how'd you get a 3 slope if the height is 4?

Answer 4

slope = rise/run = change in y/change in x

Answer 5

rise/run

Answer 6

yeah which is 3. Change in the K values is 4

Answer 7

what are you calling k?

Answer 8

Level curves????

Answer 9

do you see curves in there?

Answer 10

Could you please work this out for me because im really confused

Answer 11

can you figure out just one of the lines' equation?

Answer 12

I don't see a three-dimensional graph in there to even consider contour-lines for curves

Answer 13

level surfaces are always two dimensional

Answer 14

i figured te equation to be y=3x

Answer 15

*the

Answer 16

since the equation is y=3x, there are shifts to left and right what does that tell you?

Answer 17

i dunno

Answer 18

I noticed something...
the coordinates

Answer 19

yes

Answer 20

>.< no wonder we weren't on the same page

Answer 21

ok im really confused now please explain yourself

Answer 22

I thought it was only single variable calc

Answer 23

LOOOL no its multivariable

Answer 24

thats why i kept mentioning K

Answer 25

figured that one when I saw you mentioning k

Answer 26

I wouldn't be the best person to help
:(

Answer 27

@UnkleRhaukus @ganeshie8

Answer 28

oooooh alright.

Answer 29

Thank you tho

Answer 30

\[y=3x\pm4n\]

Answer 31

how?

Answer 32

i cant plug that into the homework since N is not even defined

Answer 33

i dont really understand the question, but i mean n for natural numbers
