[Answered] MATH114N Week 4 Discussion: Graphs

Initial Post Instructions

Before we begin graphing systems of equations, a good starting point is to review our knowledge of 2-D graphs. These graphs are known as 2-D because they have two axes. Find an online image of a graph to use as the foundation of your discussion. (This is easily accomplished by searching within Google Images.)

Using your graph as the example:

  1. Select any two points on the graph and apply the slope formula, interpreting the result as a rate of change (units of measurement required); and
  2. Use rate of change (slope) to explain why your graph is linear (constant slope) or not linear (changing slopes).

Embed the graph into the post by copying and pasting into the discussion. You must cite the source of the image. Also be sure to show the computations used to determine slope.

 

Solution

Math on a whole in not my favorite subject, but linear equations drives me insane. I am determined to understand it better. A linear equation is an equation of a straight line (OpenStax, 2015).

Select any two points on a graph and apply the slope formula, intercepting the result as a rate of change (units of measurement required)

There are many ways of writing linear equations, but they usually have constants (like “2” or “c”) and must have simple variables (like “x” or “y”). The most common slope-intercept form is the slope-intercept equation of a straight line (Math is fun). The formula…………..please follow the link below to purchase the solution at $5
