Question

Will medal!!!

The figure below shows a line graph and two shaded triangles that are similar:


Which statement about the slope of the line is true?

Answer 1

it is - 1/3 throughout the line.
It is −3 throughout the line.
The slope from point O to point A is 1/3 times the slope of the line from point A to point B.
The slope from point O to point A is three times the slope of the line from point A to point B.

Answer 2

As you read across the graph from left to right, is the line rising or falling?

Answer 3

falling

Answer 4

Then is the slope positive or negative?

Answer 5

negative

Answer 6

Did you count the squares to see what exactly the slope is?

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

do you use rise/run in this

Answer 9

Put your pencil on the origin and count down and right until you come to the line.

Answer 10

the big one is 2/2
the little one is 1/1

Answer 11

Both of those are equal to 1

Answer 12

The slope of a line is a constant.

Answer 13

The slope of the line in the picture is -1

Answer 14

-1 isn't an option

Answer 15

None of those statements about the slope of the given line are true.

Answer 16

Did you post the problem EXACTLY as written?

Answer 17

it is -1/3 through the line

it is -3 throughout the line.

The slope from point O to point A is fraction 1 over 3 times the slope of the line from point A to point B.

The slope from point O to point A is three times the slope of the line from point A to point B.

Answer 18

that is copied and pasted

Answer 19

Well none of those answers are true.

Answer 20

that is unfortunate

Answer 21

Because the slope of the line is -1 at every point on the line. If they are talking about the number of squares and not the simplified slope, that could be different.

Answer 22

will you help me with 1 more please

Answer 23

Yes.

Answer 24

What is the initial value of the function represented by this graph?

Answer 25

0
3
4
7

Answer 26

7

Answer 27

that is what i thought

Answer 28

At x value 0, the y value is 7 so the initial or beginning value is 7.

Answer 29

that makes sense

Answer 30

thx

Answer 31

You're welcome.

Answer 32

From the first problem I noticed that the scale of the axis are different. The Y axis has units that increment by 3 and the x increment by 1.

The first triangle has a rise of (-2-0) and a run of (6-0) which give a slope of
(-2-0)/(6-0) = -2/6 = -1/3

The Second triangle has a rise over run of
(-3-(-2))/(9-6) = -1/3 isn't that the first option?
"it is - 1/3 throughout the line"

Answer 33

Sorry that should say Y increments by 1 and x increments by 3.
