Question 1 Determine the slope for line 2x+12y-6=0 2x+12y=6 12y=-2x+6 y=-2x/12+6/12 y=-x/6+1/2 ∴m=-1/6 Find the slope of the required line‚ which is "m" (-1/6)("m" )=-1 (m)=6 Now‚ substitute m=6 into equation y=mx+c ‚i.e. y=6x+c. This line passed through point (2‚4). So‚ we substitute x=2‚y=4 into y=6x+c. 4=6(2)+c 4-12=c c=-8 ∴ The equation of the straight line that we are looking for is y=6x-8

the first century. Action learning for many organizations has become one of the most powerful action-oriented‚ problem solving tools as well for team approaching in order for them to operate better. With today’s many demands and so little time to focus on a one on one‚ corporations must find ways to get everything together in one session and begin the work in order to survive this world’s new change and be successful. Chapter 2 shows us the six essential elements of effective action learning. In chapter

Philosophy through Mathematics For centuries mathematics has been the bases to almost everything we do. Whether we are dealing with complex physics or modern medicine‚ without mathematics almost nothing we have now would be possible. Mathematics is a broad topic that can be broken down into many different categories. Most people limit their mathematics to just basic arithmetic and some geometry but the world of mathematics can be expanded to be so much more. The world of mathematics includes more than

“Is mathematics discovered or invented?” To commence with this essay‚ we must first understand a few key words used in this statement and question. ‘Mathematics’ is generally believed to be the body of knowledge centered on concepts such as quantity‚ structure‚ space‚ and change‚ and also the academic discipline that studies them. Whereas ‘discover’ and ‘invent’ means to find information‚ a place or an object‚ especially for the first time and to design or create something which has never been made

Ancient India Technology In ancient Indian mathematics was known by the general name of Ganita‚ which included arithmetic‚ geometry‚ algebra‚ astronomy and astrology. It was Aryabhatta‚ who gave a new direction to trigonometry. The decimal system too was an innovation of India. By the third century B.C. mathematics‚ astronomy and medicine began to develop separately. In the field of mathematics ancient Indians made three distinct contributions‚ the notation system‚ the decimal system and the use

HOW TO SUCCEED IN MATHEMATICS. Step 1: Hard work trump’s natural talent. As in most everything ‚ the people who are most successful in mathematics are the one who work the hardest ‚ not those with “natural talent’’ in school‚ those who work hard get better grade in mathematics than the ‘’smart’’ students whom just coast .Most aspect of mathematics can only be learnt by hand practice. This holds true whether you want to develop your problem solving abilities or your computational skills. No one
