The slope is the variable sought.
The slope is itself a function of x, a single variable.
You strike me as someone who gets irate when he is caught in a silly mistake because he doesn't like to be found wrong. On the other hand, I like to imagine that when the author of my university calculus textbooks titled them Single-Variable Calculus and Calculus of Several Variables, he understood the subject matter well enough to know the former actually exists. Then again, it was only a top engineering school, so what do they know about math.
Stop arguing with editor-surveyor. His tagline should tell you all that you need to know about him.
At one point freedom was the ability to say 2+2=5, now its the ability to say 5x3 is 5+5+5.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Joke on!
One cannot have a function without at least two variables to compare.
The slope is the result of the relationship between the two variables. In a second order or higher expression the slope is indeed variable, but in a linear expression the slope is constant.
