Answer 1

What graph?

Answer 2

@Imverytired

Answer 3

Answer Options:

−2
−1
−1 over 2
1 over 2

Answer 4

Slope=rise/run

Answer 5

Pick two pints and see how much the graph rises and how much the graph runs.

Answer 6

i think its the last one

Answer 7

As you can see, it doesn't rise; it falls instead. So the rise will be negative.

Answer 8

so c ?

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

Yay! Thank you! can u help with a couple more ?

Answer 11

Yes. :)

Answer 12

Which statement best explains if the graph correctly represents the proportional relationship y = 3.5x?

Answer 13

Statements?

Answer 14

Answer options:

No, the points shown on the line would not be part of y = 3.5x
No, proportions cannot be represented on a graph
Yes, the points shown on the line would be part of y = 3.5x
Yes, all proportions can be shown on the graph of this line

Answer 15

Can you kinda walk me thru this? I don't really get this at all...

Answer 16

I'll try. :)

Answer 17

Thanks

Answer 18

You know the orange dots on the graph? Tell me the points in (x,y) format.

Answer 19

3.5, 7

Answer 20

Those are the y-values.

Answer 21

y = 3.5, 7
x = 1, 2

Answer 22

Answer 23

The x value of 1 is paired with the y value of 3.5.

Answer 24

OHHHH so
1, 3.5
2, 7

Answer 25

Yes.

Answer 26

ok now what

Answer 27

Now fit those values into the equation.

Answer 28

y=3.5x

When x is 1, what is y?

Answer 29

3.5

Answer 30

Correct. Now don't you notice how on the graph when x is 1, y is 3.5?

Answer 31

yes so it would be c ?

Answer 32

If you made x equal to 2 it would make y equal to 7. (2,7) is also a point on the graph. So that means that the graph is indeed the graph of y=3.5x.

Answer 33

Yes. C is correct. :)

Answer 34

Omg thank you so much! You are a really big help i actually understand it now

Answer 35

You're welcome. :)

Answer 36

Can you help me with one last q ?

Answer 37

Sure. :)

Answer 38

tysm oh my gosh

Answer 39

Compare the table and equation.

Answer 40

Equation: y = 3x

Which representation has the greatest slope?

Answer 41

Answer Options:


The equation has the greatest slope.
The table has the greatest slope.
The table and equation have the same slope.
Their slopes cannot be determined.

Answer 42

The table is modeled after the equation so they have the same slope.

Answer 43

The table IS the equation in a different format.

Answer 44

can u explain it a little bc i still don't really get it

Answer 45

Look at the table. Every time the x value goes up by 1, the y value goes up by 3. So the rise, which is 3, is divided by the run, which is 1. (Rise/run is the slope formula.) So 3/1 is 3. The slope is 3.

Look at the equation. Plug in a number for x. When x is 1, y is 3. When x is 2, y is 6. So the slope is the same. Every time x is increased by 1, y is increased by 3. The slope is 3.

Answer 46

WoW!! Okay. I actually get it now!!!! And i submitted the assignment @confluxepic

Answer 47

Thanks @confluxepic for helping me with this assignment! I am now closing this question so guys i dont need help anymore! thanks!!!

Answer 48

You're welcome. :)
