A slope triangle for line l is shown on the graph below. If the slope of the line is 4/3 what is the value of w?

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have to note is that the slope of a line is rise/run. This means that the amount of y change in that line is 4, and the amount of x change is 3.

We can now use a proportion to find the value of w.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
