math help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plz help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know the slope formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no unfortunetly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1}}{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the slope formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which means that you take a first point with coordinates as \[(x _{1},y _{1})\], and another point with coordinates \[(x_{2},y_{2})\] and find the difference between the x's and y's and divide them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im really bad at math...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are 2 points on your graph right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4,8) and (2,4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the first point, the y-coord is the number that comes 2nd, so the y-coord is 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this means that the point is 8 spaces UP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the x-coord is the first number, so the x-coord of that point is 4 which means that the point is 4 across.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the point is 4 spaces across, and 8 spaces up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but how do i find the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[do \frac{ 8-4 }{ 4-2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this gives you 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since the number attached to the x is the slope of the equation, you are looking for any answers that have a number greater than 2 attached to the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one is x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the answer choices , the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like in y=2.2x,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be 3x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 2.2x, since it is higher than 2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x or 2.2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry for being so dumb xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup, both because it says choose ALL correct answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem, you're not dumb. you just haven't learnt it yet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry if I'm terrible at explaining

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your great at explaining

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could u help me with a few more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure why not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk why it says im typing o.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is the same exact concept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

except there is no graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the two points u want to use are gonna be (2,25) and (4,50)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about 5/62.50 - 8/100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those work too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the equation is the other way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 100/8-62.50/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did not know that xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea you almost had it right tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whats the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im like 100% terrible at math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use a calculator if u want

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the actual computation isn't the important part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyways the answer is 12.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your being really helpful <3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if you attach that to the x you get y=12.5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait..12.25 or 12.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12.25 isn't greater than 12.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12.5 its self isnt an option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but 12.75 and 13 are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are looking for answers that are higher than 12.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it says the rate of relationship A is HIGHER than the rate of relationship B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could it be 12.75 and 13?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.O.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

choose ALL answers that are correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will send the other half in a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

waaaait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ertdre

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sorry but I have to go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but its the same general idea, just this time you're looking for lower rates

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for your help tho :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np bye :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will give you a medal :D
