Why does b represent the y-intercept?
B is just a constant variable. In the standard form for the equation of a line y= ax +b. When x = 0, this is where we cross the y axis and the equation evaluates to b.
What is the value of the constant in the equation below?
That depends on what the equation is.
How can you represent a proportional relationship using an equation?
You cannot represent a proportional relationship using an equation.
Is a constant acceleration graph a linear equation?
Not necessarily. The equation of a projectile, moving under constant acceleration (due to gravity) is a parabola - a non-linear equation.
How are letters and symbols used in equations?
Letters and symbols are used in equations to represent quantities, sometimes known or unknown. For example the symbol π (pi) represents the constant 3.14… and is unchanging. X or Y in an equation represent unknown terms that may vary depending on the equation, and other variables in the equation. There are numerous examples of both symbols and letters used in mathematical equations, but almost always they are either referring to a known constant term that is more simply expressed as a symbol, or an unknown or general term yet to be concretely determined.
What is the linear equation used to represent a proportion?
y = cx where c is the constant of proportionality.
What is the letter in a term in math called?
In a mathematial equation the letters wither represent a variable or a constant.
In Albert Einstein's famous equation e equals mc squared what does the letter c represent?
C represents a constant (the speed of light).
What does the answer to an equation represent?
The solution is the answer to an equation.
Why does b represent the y-intercept?
B is just a constant variable. In the standard form for the equation of a line y= ax +b. When x = 0, this is where we cross the y axis and the equation evaluates to b.
Wha is a linear equation?
A linear equation is when each term in the algebraic equation is either a constant or the product has a single variable and a constant.
What is math equation to represent?
a math equation
What is the value of the constant in the equation below?
That depends on what the equation is.
What does a coefficient represent?
It depends on the equation and the coefficient. Coefficients can be constant (Boltzmann constant, Avogadro's number) but they can also be variable (Reynolds number). The coefficient of gravity, g, is 9.81 m/s^2 in metric units on Earth.
How can you represent a proportional relationship using an equation?
You cannot represent a proportional relationship using an equation.
How do you find constant of proportionality using equation?
If the equation is y = kx then the constant of proportionality is k.
What can a triangle represent in a periodic equation?
In a periodic equation a triangle can be used to represent the given change of something.
