unemployment — that is, as education increases, the rate of unemployment decreases Inverse relationships and their counterpart, direct relationships, are widely used in the physical sciences to describe the relationship between two variables in an equation. In economic graphing, two variables are said to have an inverse relationship if the graph line slopes downward to the right. 2. A relationship that occurs when variable quantities are directly proportional to one another. A linear relationship

hours. What does the slope of this line represent? How is this graph useful? Provide another example for your colleagues to explain. Cartesian equations: algebraic equations involving the coordinates of the points lying on the shape. For example, a circle of radius 2 may be described as the set of all points whose coordinates x and y satisfy the equation x2 + y2 = 4. Question: Can one line have two slopes? Explain how or why not. If the line is a straight line, meaning 180degrees, it can only

Lab 22 Name __Lance Lanier____ Write an essay of 500 words, giving examples on the use of Kirchhoff’s Current Law. Kirchhoff's Current Law is one of two fundamental laws in electrical engineering, the other being Kirchhoff's Voltage Law. Kirchhoff’s Current Law is a fundamental law, as fundamental as Conservation of Mass in mechanics, for example, because Kirchhoff’s Current Law is really conservation of charge. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law and Kirchhoff’s Current Law are the starting point for
