In the second step you should have subtracted the 2x to move it to the other or side of the equals sign
Since there is no semicircle, the angle is 0.
There are many factors, it is all a matter of preference, normally, you want to try to solve for the easiest one to get to
example
if y ou had
(x-3)^2+y=9
you would solve for y becuase it is less tricky
it is all a matter of preference
Answer: Given : Joe’s Earnings and hour worked
The relationship between money earned and hours worked is linear.
Joe computes the slope between (4, 30) and (12, 90), then computes the slope between (4, 30) and (10, 75).
To Find : How do the two slopes compare?
Solution:
Hours worked Money earned
4 $30
10 $75
12 $90
22 $165
slope between (4, 30) and (12, 90),
= (90 - 30)/(12 - 4)
= 60/8
= 15/2
slope between (4, 30) and (10, 75)
= (75 - 30)/(10-4)
= 45/6
= 15/2
The slope between (4, 30) and (12, 90) and between (4, 30) and (10, 75) is the same.
Both Slopes are same.
i hope this helped and have a nice day/night
