The answer depends on the signs of the original intercepts.

  1. x negative, y negative: negative slope becomes less negative and could go positive.
  2. x negative, y positive: positive slope becomes greater.
  3. x positive, y negative: positive slope becomes less positive and could go negative.
  4. x positive, y positive: negative slope becomes more negative.

For 1 and 3, the slope changes sign when the y intercept crosses the origin.

What happen to area of triangle when you increase its base or height?

As the base or height of a triangle increases, its area increases as well.


If the speed of a wave increases and its frequency does not change then what will happen to its wavelength?

This generally happens when a wave moves from one medium into another.Now, the velocity (v) of a wave (mechanical and electromagnetic) is equal to the product of its frequency (f) and wavelength (λ).So, v = f x λThat means if frequency is constant, the wavelength is directly proportional to the velocity.So, if the speed of the wave increases (while frequency remains the same), the wavelength will also increase.


What is the x-intercept of the graph of y equals x2 - 4x plus 4?

The x-intercept will happen when y equals zero. So we can say: x2 - 4x + 4 = 0 (x - 2)2 = 0 x - 2 = 0 x = 2 So the x-intercept happens at (2, 0). To verify, just plug 2 into the original equation: y = 22 - 4(2) + 4 y = 4 - 8 + 4 y = 0


What is the x and y intercepts of 9x squared plus 12x plus 4?

If y = 9x2 + 12x + 4 Then the y intercept will be when x = 0, which is 4: y = 9(0)2 + 12(0) + 4 y = 0 + 0 + 4 y = 4 The x intercept will happen when y = 0, which we can work out by finding factors of the equation and determining x values that give us a zero y value: 9x2 + 12x + 4 = 0 9x2 + 6x + 6x + 4 = 0 3x(3x + 2) + 2(3x + 2) = 0 (3x + 2)(3x + 2) = 0 (3x + 2)2 = 0 3x + 2 = 0 3x = -2 x = - 2/3 So the x intercept is at -2/3 and the y intercept is at 4.


What will happen to a density of a gold bar that is 15cm x 7cm x 5cm when it is rolled into a sheet that is 25cm x 42cm x 0.5cm?

The volume of the gold bar is not affected by such a physical deformation and remains at 525 cm3 and so the density is unchanged.
