Can someone help me with this math homework please!

Answers:

Explanations:

1: gets steeper

2: gets less steep

3: negative

Step-by-step explanation:

"As the value of m changes from 1 to 3, the graph gets steeper."

m is the slope of the line, and when it increases, there's more "rising" then "running", so it becomes more steep.

"As the value of m changes from -6 to -1, the graph gets less steep."

When the value of m increases, it gets more steep. It makes sense since -6 is less than -1. However, in this scenario, the negative sign doesn't "affect" the slope of the graph. It just flips the graph over the y-axis.

So you have to think of it as if the negative signs were gone and it was 6 to 1.

In that case, the slope is decreasing, so it's getting less steeper.

"If the value of m is negative, the slope of the line is negative."

The m variable represents the slope in slope-intercept form, so if m is negative, that's the same as saying the slope is negative.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
