5.4 Homework
m=-4
Name:
undefined
m=0
m= -5.4/ 3000
m=5/9 temp is increasing at a rate of 5˚C for each 9˚F
boiling point is decreasing at a rate of 5.4˚F for each 3000 ft above sea level
m = 260,000 - 175,000 = $21,250 per year 5-1

Student B. The student did not use the same coordinate pair order in the denominator as the numerator
4 chirps/min 1 ˚F yes, m=4
Find the value of k such that the slope between the two points is as given. 2. (3, k) and (-2, 7) m = 2 1. (-4, 6) and (k, 2) m = -1/2
2-6 = -1 k+4 2
k=17
2(-4) = -(k+4) -8 = -k - 4 -4 = -k 4=k Are the points (-2,14), (4,11) and (-8,17) on the same line?
m= 3/-6=-1/2
m=6/-12=-1/2
yes
