The table shows the number of games a chess player won in professional competitions, based on the number of games played.

slope  = (25-4)/(30-10)

 slope = 21/20

slope =21/20  

using point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-4 = 21/20 (x-10)

y = 21/20x -21/2 +4

y = 21/20 x -21/2 +8/2

y = 21/20x -13/2

let x=40

y = 21/20 (40) -13/2

y = 42-13/2

y = 35.5 games

If we round the slope to 1

slope =1

using point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-4 = 1 (x-10)

y = 1x -10 +4

y =  x -6

let x=40

y = 40-6

y = 34 games

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
