What is the equation of a line in standard form?

The standard form equation of a line is y=mx+b. M represents the slope; slope is the change in x over the change in y. B represents the y-intercept.


What is the equation for the magnitude of acceleration in physics?

The equation for the magnitude of acceleration in physics is a v / t, where a represents acceleration, v is the change in velocity, and t is the change in time.


Consider the burning of gasoline and the evaporation of gasoline which process represents a chemical change and which represents a physical change?

The burning of gasoline represents a chemical change because it involves a reaction with oxygen to produce heat, light, and new chemical compounds. On the other hand, the evaporation of gasoline represents a physical change as it involves the gasoline changing from a liquid to a gas without any change in its chemical composition.

What is the part of the slope intercept form that represents the rate of change?

y=mx +b is the equation for slope intercept form. y = the output of the equation m = the slope x = the input into the formula b = the y-intercept The slope represents the rate of change. This is because for every input, or x, you put into the equation, is changed by m. So the M portion of this equation would be the rate of change.
