plz help i will much appreciate it
The "rate of change" is the slope. (Normally when you have something like \(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle y=mx+b }\), then \(m\) is the slope)
sort of like number 2
So, the equation in *2* is already in that form. Can you tell me the slope in *2*?
Please find the slope in each of the two cases.
i am not sure is it -4
Yup
really XD
So is the slope in *2* negative of positive? :O
what is negative of positive do u mean or
the slope in *2* is equal to -4. So that means that the slope in *2* is negative or positive? (you know it...)
i am not sure sorry
is -4 a positive or negative number?
oh negative lol
yes, so the slope in *2* is ?
(negative or positive ?)
negative
Yes, lol ...
now lets do number one
Now, let's refer to equation *1* 2x - 3y = 9 Please, solve this equation for y. (isolate the "y")
i got this from a website called math papa Step 1: Add -2x to both sides. 2x−3y+−2x=9+−2x −3y=−2x+9 Step 2: Divide both sides by -3. −3y−3=−2x+9−3 y=23x−3 Answer: y=23x−3
*2/3* sorry
the answer right
(you really should be solving this on your own, because the site won't be available on the tests, would it?) [but], yes, \(y=\dfrac{2}{3}x-3\) is correct
So, what is the slope in *1* ?
Hint: The slope of an equation in a form, y=mx+b, is equal to m.
lol sorry i am trying my best in math i am glad there are people like u to come and help me out and is it -3
no, that is not the slope ... "-3" is the y-intercept (or the "b").
positive 9?
\(y=\dfrac{2}{3}x-3\) (your equation) \(y=~mx+b\) Compare and tell me what is the slope ("m") of your equation?
2/3 ?
Yes, exactly.
So, the slope in *1* is negative or positive?
yesss lol and positive?
Yes, it's positive.
now 3 and 4 i relly have no clue
*really*
The "rate of change" or the slope in *3* and *4*, Can be determined through the formula; \(\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm m}=\frac{\color{blue}{b}-\color{red}{d}}{\color{green}{a}-\color{darkgoldenrod}{c}} }\) where; \(\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm m} }\) is the slope \(\color{black}{ \displaystyle (\color{green}{a}~,~~\color{blue}{b}) }\) and \(\color{black}{ \displaystyle (\color{darkgoldenrod}{c}~,~~\color{red}{d}) }\) are your two points.
You can choose any two points.
can u plx epain it a little more simple i an really confused lol sorry thx for being patient with me
*explain*
So for *3*, you can choose (for instance) the following two points: \(\color{black}{ \displaystyle (\color{green}{3}~,~~\color{blue}{7}) }\) and \(\color{black}{ \displaystyle (\color{darkgoldenrod}{1}~,~~\color{red}{1}) }\) And then use the slope formula; (Slope is "m") \(\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm m}=\frac{\color{blue}{7}-\color{red}{1}}{\color{green}{3}-\color{darkgoldenrod}{1}} }\) (blah blah blah ... you simplify..)
So in that case, you will get m = ?
i it \[\frac{ 6 }{ 2 }\]
yes, 6/2, very good! But, you can reduce this fraction (if you divide by 2 on top and bottom)
so 3/1
because 6 divided by 2 = 3 and 2 divided by 2 = 1
