What is the slope when m equals 0 and b equals 5?
The slope is normally represented by m so it is 0.
Why m represent the slope?
slope can be represented by any variables, such that, the variable representing the slope is defined. by convention, mathematicians and mathematics books authors used and are using "m" as the variable for slope. (recommended to have further historical research on this matter)
Why was m chosen for slope?
It is not documented why the letter m was chosen for slope. However, mathematician John Conway suggested that m could mean 'modulus of slope'.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation y - 3x equals 8?
y - 3x = 8 standard form is y = mx + b m = slope y = 3x + 8 in this form slope m is 3 The perpendicular line slope is the negative inverse of m -1/m = -1/3
What is the highest value that can be represented with a single-letter Roman numeral?
The highest value that can be represented with a single-letter Roman numeral is 1,000, which is represented by the letter "M"
Why is the slope is represented by m?
M is simply just a random number picked by math maticians. Almost the whole alphabet stands for something.
In the generalized slope-intercept equation of a line the slope of the line is represented as the coefficient of the variable x?
Your statement is correct. y=mx+b when m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
