HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

do you know what the slope of \(g(x)=5x+1\) is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok give me a sec to find slope for f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope for g(x) is 5

OpenStudy (misty1212):

k

OpenStudy (misty1212):

how about the other one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 10

OpenStudy (misty1212):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok. let me write a sentence real quick and can you check and tell me if it looks ok?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

how about "the slope of f is twice the slope of g"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i have "Part A: The slope for f(x) is 10. We can find this out by taking the two points (-1, -11) and (0, -1) and putting them into this formula y2 - y1/x2 - x1 -1 - (-11)/0 - (-1) -1 + 11/0 + 1 10/1 10 Now, the slope for g(x) is 5" how do i eplain the slope for g(x)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

it is in the form \[y=mx+b\] where the slope is \(m\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok that is what i was thinking

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

the slope of f is twice the slope of g like @misty1212 that is the sentence you want to write

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part A: The slope for f(x) is 10. We can find this out by taking the two points (-1, -11) and (0, -1) and putting them into this formula y2 - y1/x2 - x1 -1 - (-11)/0 - (-1) -1 + 11/0 + 1 10/1 10 Now, the slope for g(x) is 5, because when you convert g(x) = 5x + 1 to slope-intercept form, you have y = 5x + 1, and slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, and in this case, 5 is in the same placement as m, which is the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh totally forgot it said sentence

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

good you catch up, i was about to tell you that what you did is not a sentence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will use that as my explination
