math help pls

@Hero @Shadow

ThisGirlPretty:

What's the question?

AngeI:

I might be able to help if I can see the question

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

Well we have two points (0,-2) and (4,0) you can use the slope formula or just calculate rise/run visually from the graph

Nicole:

so (0-0) divided by 4 - -2?

Vocaloid:

Hm not quite Slope formula is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) where x1, y1 is the first point and x2,y2 is the second point So plugging them in we get (-2-0) / (0-4)

Nicole:

1/2

Nicole:

so A

Vocaloid:

Yup

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kt6v97

Vocaloid:

In this case we have to estimate but it looks like it crosses (0,0) and (-1,-4) so same formula/reasoning as before

Nicole:

(0- -4) / (0- -1)

Nicole:

correct?

Vocaloid:

Oh wait I messed up one of the points >>

Vocaloid:

Should be (0,0) and (1,-4)

Nicole:

so (-4-0) / (0-1)

Nicole:

or (1-0)

Vocaloid:

If you use (0,0) as your x1y1 then (-4-0)/(1-0)

Nicole:

so its -4

Nicole:

D

Vocaloid:

Yup

Nicole:

thats one question just big answer choices lol

Vocaloid:

Basically it should be the lines slanting down from the top left to the bottom right (on mobile so can’t eeally draw this out rn)

Nicole:

so A and C?

Vocaloid:

Good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kt70bx

Vocaloid:

Slope formula again (be careful with order/signs)

Nicole:

(5-1) / (-2-1)

Vocaloid:

So you have to be consistent when you pick your x1,y1, etc. If you pick 5 to be your y2 and 1 to be your y1 then Your x2 should be 1 and your x1 should be -2

Vocaloid:

Making your denominator (1 - (-2)) not the other way around

Nicole:

Ohhh okay which is 4/3

Vocaloid:

Yes

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kt73b3 so same for this (-3-1) / (-4-0) I thinkk

Nicole:

or is it the other way around?

Vocaloid:

Hm other way around If you choose (0,-3) to be your x1,y1 then the numerator is 1 -(-3) And the denom is -4-0

Nicole:

ohh okay

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kt74zc

Vocaloid:

Well we have two clear points (0,0) and (8,6) what would be the slope?

Nicole:

well (0-8) / (0-6)

Nicole:

correct?

Vocaloid:

it's y coordinates over x coordinates so (0-6) / (0-8)

Nicole:

3/4

Nicole:

so just B

Vocaloid:

almost now we have to consider the real-life significance of this graph if euros is on the x-axis and USD is on the y-axis then (8,6) would correspond to C or D?

Vocaloid:

like, since euros is on the x-axis, and 8 is the x-coordinate, then 8 euros = 6 dollars

Nicole:

C

Nicole:

correct?

Vocaloid:

yup so B+C are your sol'ns

Nicole:

Okey http://prntscr.com/kt79d5

Vocaloid:

basically find final minus initial balance, then divide by the # of months

Nicole:

30

Nicole:

B

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/kt7cqk

Vocaloid:

similar logic as before, we identify two points on the graph (0,0) and (10,80) then find the slope

Nicole:

so (10-0) / ( 80-0)

Vocaloid:

y coordinates over x coordinates, remember so (80-0) / (10-0)

Nicole:

8

Nicole:

Last one: http://prntscr.com/kt7f4v

Vocaloid:

notice any pattern? going down the list of temperatures they are increasing by the same amount each time

Nicole:

by 3

Nicole:

So A

Vocaloid:

good
