Find the gradient of the line.
Firstly draw a right angled 'step' from left to right. This triangle can be anywhere, but it is more helpful for it to have corners on the vertices (whole number points) of the graph and it is easier to calculate with postive numbers.
\n{app_advice}
\nBefore we start to calculate, notice that the line is {uod}, so the gradient will be {pon} and the line is {sos}, so the absolute value of the number will be {mol}.
Now find the coordinates of the places your triangle meets the line
$(x_1,y_1)=(\\var{ax},\\var{ay})$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(\\var{bx},\\var{by})$
\nWe need to compare the 'rise on the y-axis' to the 'run across the x-axis', we can say that:
\n$\\text{gradient} = \\frac{\\text{rise}}{\\text{run}}$
\nThis is equivalent to using the formula:
$ m = \\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} $
and substitute the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle:
$\\begin{split} &\\, m = \\frac{\\var{by} - \\var{ay}}{\\var{bx} - \\var{ax}} \\\\
&\\, = \\frac{\\var{by-ay}}{\\var{bx-ax}} \\\\
&\\, = \\var[fractionNumbers]{m} \\\\
\\end{split} $

", "advice": "The convention in Matrix notation is to give the dimensions of a matrix in the order \"rows\" by \"columns\".
\nFor $\\var{Dimensions}$ there are $\\var{rows[0]}$ rows and $\\var{columns[0]}$ columns. We write this as \"this is a $\\var{rows[0]}$X$\\var{columns[0]}$ matrix\".
\nTwo Matrices can be added or subtracted if they have the exact same dimensions as each other. For example $\\var{canadd1}$ and $\\var{canadd2}$ are both $\\var{rows[1]}$X$\\var{columns[1]}$ matrices and therefore can be added (or subtracted). However, $\\var{cantaddsub1}$ is a $\\var{rows[3]}$X$\\var{columns[3]}$ matrix and $\\var{cantaddsub2}$ is a $\\var{rows[3]}$X$\\var{columns[3]+1}$ matrix. Since these dimensions are different these matrices cannot be added or subtracted.
\nWhen you multiply two matrices together the number of columns in the first matrix must match the number of rows in the second matrix. For example in the calculation $\\var{Mult3}$X$\\var{Mult4}$ the first matrix has $3$ columns and the second matrix has $3$ rows so they can be multiplied. In addition to this when multiplying two matrices (that can be multiplied) the result will be a single matrix that has the number of rows of the first matrix and the number of columns of the second matrix. In this example the first matrix has $\\var{rows[0]}$ rows and the second matrix has $\\var{columns[1]}$ columns, so the result of multiplying the two matrices will be a $\\var{rows[0]}$X$\\var{columns[1]}$ matrix.

\nWhen you're asked to round your answer to a number of decimal places, you need to decide whether to keep the last digit the same (rounding down) or increase it by 1 (rounding up). If the following digit is less than 5 we round down and we round up when the next digit is 5 or more.
\nTo write it down in steps:
\nIt is important to keep in mind that if the digit we are increasing is 9, it becomes zero and we increase the previous digit instead. If this digit is 9 as well, we move along to the left side until we find a digit less than 9.
\nTo round a number to a given number $n$ of decimal places, we look at the $n$th digit after the decimal point.
\nWe have $\\var{c1}$.
\ni)
\nWe look at the first digit after the decimal point. This is $\\var{cdig[4]}$ and the following digit is $\\var{cdig[3]}$ so we round updown to get $\\var{precround(c1, 1)}$.
\nii)
\nThe second digit after the decimal point is $\\var{cdig[3]}$. It is followed by $\\var{cdig[2]}$ so we round updown to get $\\var{precround(c1, 2)}$.
\niii)
\nThe 3rd decimal place is $\\var{cdig[2]}$, followed by $\\var{cdig[1]}$. We get $\\var{precround(c1, 3)}$. The 4th decimal place is $\\var{cdig[1]}$, followed by $\\var{cdig[0]}$. We get $\\var{precround(c1, 4)}$.

\nMETHOD 1
\nSince there are $1000$m in $1$km we first multiply by $1000$ to get the speed in metres per hour:
\n\\begin{equation} 1000*\\var{speedkm} = \\var{step1}\\end{equation}
\nThen we divide by $3600$ since that is the number of seconds in an hour to get the speed in metres per second:
\n\\begin{equation} \\frac{\\var{step1}}{3600} = \\var{speedms} \\end{equation}
\nFinally we round off to 2 decimal places as required, $\\var{roundanswer}$m/s.
\nMETHOD 2
\nWe can actually do all of the above in one step of working by using a single conversion factor. Since there are $1000$m in a km and $3600$ seconds in an hour, we can calaculate the conversion factor:
\n\\begin{equation} \\frac{3600}{1000} = 3.6 \\end{equation}
\nand then simply divide by that conversion factor:
\n\\begin{equation} \\frac{\\var{speedkm}}{3.6} = \\var{speedms} \\end{equation}
\nfinally rounding off as before, $\\var{roundanswer}$m/s.

\nHeight is a continuous variable. For example, 180.3cm and 180.4cm have a valid midpoint 180.35cm.Weight is a continuous variable. For example, 54.5kg and 54.6kg have a valid midpoint 54.55kg.Time is a continuous variable. For example, 54.2s and 54.3s have a valid midpoint 54.25s.Temperature is a continuous variable, it can take any value between -273.15°C (absolute zero) and positive infinity. For example, 25°C and 26°C have a valid midpoint 25.5°C. Hence, this data is continuous.
\nThe number of Stage 1 students will always be an integer. You cannot split one student into two, for example value 19.5 students does not make sense. Therefore, this is a discrete set of data.The result of rolling 3 dice can take values of integers from 3 up to 18. For example, values 3 and 4 do not have any valid middle measurement. Therefore, this is a discrete set of data.Shoe sizes are a discrete set of data. For example, sizes 39 and 40 mean something while the middle value 39.5 does not.The number of chocolate bars sold on Monday will always be an integer. There is no middle measurement between 1 and 2 bars sold. You cannot buy a half of a bar. Therefore, this is a discrete set of data.The number of movies downloaded will always be an integer. You can either download a movie successfully or unsuccessfuly, so this is a discrete set of data. It is impossible to split 0 and 1 movies downloaded into 0.5. The number of cinema tickets sold will always be a whole number. There is no middle measurement between 1 and 2 tickets sold. You simply cannot buy half of a ticket. Therefore, this is a discrete set of data.

\nWhen we round continuous variables to the nearest integer, this data becomes discrete, as there are no valid middle measurements between the integers. Therefore, the weight of a dog to the nearest kgthe height of Olympic medalists to the nearest cmthe time taken to run 10km to the nearest min is discrete and not continuous.

The graph shows that there is a positive correlation between a person's height and how long it takes them to walk to work.
\nA postive correlation is a relationship between two variables where both variables move in the same diection.
\nThis tells us that as a person's height increases, the time it takes to walk to work increases.
