2: the trait of acting unpredictably and more from whim or
caprice than from reason or judgment; "I despair at the
flightiness and whimsicality of my memory" [synonym:

Mistaking the whimseys of a feverish brain for the
calm revelation of truth. --Bancroft.

and {whimsey}.
[1913 Webster]

{Whim gin} (Mining), a whim. See {Whim}, 2.

Syn: Freak; caprice; whimsey; fancy.

Usage: {Whim}, {Freak}, {Caprice}. Freak denotes an
impulsive, inconsiderate change of mind, as by a child
or a lunatic. Whim is a mental eccentricity due to
peculiar processes or habits of thought. Caprice is
closely allied in meaning to freak, but implies more
definitely a quality of willfulness or wantonness.
[1913 Webster]

  • How can I explain slope-intercept form to a student who keeps . . . - Wyzant
    I help students understand slope-intercept form by connecting the abstract symbols to real-world, visual examples I explain that “m” is the slope, or how steep a line is — like the rise over run on a hill, while “b” is the y-intercept, the point where the line crosses the y-axis, like the starting point of a race or a bank account
  • what is Graphing Linear Equation using Slope intercept form
    The linear equation being in slope-intercept form immediately gives us the y-intercept, so, e g , if we're graphing y=-2x+3, since 3 is the y-intercept, we can immediately plot (0, 3)
  • Line g is shown on the graph. coordinate plane with line g . . . - Wyzant
    The slope is therefore 3 3, which is equal to 1 Second, solve for b Slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where b is a constant and m is the slope We can use any coordinates of any point on the line g to find b, and I will use (0,5) for this example Filling in the slope intercept form with these coordinates creates the equation 5 = 1 (0) + b
  • Rectangle TUVW is on a coordinate plane at T (a, b), U (a + 2, b + 2 . . .
    Because the slope of the line doesn't depend on the constants a and b, you can plug in values for a and b The easiest way of doing this is just making both a and b equal to 0 Therefore we get points T (0,0), U (2,2), V (5,-1), and W (3, -3) Get the slope of line segment UV: Use the formula: m = (y 2 - y 1) (x 2 - x 1) Any line parallel to this line segment will have the same slope
  • Equation of line in point-slope form given 2 points - Wyzant
    The parent equation for point-slope form is y-y 1 =m (x-x 1) x 1 and y 1 represent the x and y coordinates of a coordinate pair that the line runs through m represents the slope First, you must find the slope To find the slope you will use the equation: (y 2 -y 1) (x 2 -x 1) out of your two points, (2, 3) and (5, -7), you need to choose which is 1 and which is 2 for the purpose of this
  • Find all x values on the graph of f (x) = x − 2 cos (x) for 0 lt; x lt; 2π . . .
    Find all x values on the graph of f (x) = x − 2 cos (x) for 0 < x < 2π where the tangent line has slope 2 (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list )
  • how do i determine if a line pass through the origin - Wyzant
    The slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where b is the y-intercept In the equation y = 2x - 1, the y-intercept is -1 So, if you have an equation like y = 4x, there is no "b" term Therefore, the y-intercept is zero, and the line passes through the origin
  • graph y=3x+1 pls | Wyzant Ask An Expert
    The way that you can graph this easily is by identifying the y-intercept and the slope in your line equation First, draw the x and y coordinate plane In the equation y = 3x + 1, the y-intercept is positive 1, so draw a point at (0, 1) Then, you know that the slope is a positive 3 (the coefficient next to the x term)
  • How do you tell if the slope is positive or negative? - Wyzant
    Algebra 1 Prealgebra Asked • 07 30 24 How do you tell if the slope is positive or negative? I know that there are four different kinds of slope, but I get really confused between positive and negative slope There's undefined slope, positive slope, negative slope, and undefined slope
  • (2,-2) slope=2 how to put it in slope intercept form - Wyzant
    If you are given two points, you first determine the slope from both points and then use one of the points (it doesn't matter which) to find the y intercept So let's say you were given (2, -2) and (5, 4)
