If anyone has any questions they are stuck on, ask them here because i a bet alot of folk would get stuck and want to ask others for help.
I know Homework can suck at times but in the end i feel you have to do it.

I am stuck on this computing homework, it says
"Give one advantage of representing charcters using a standard code such as ASCII, (American,Standard, code for information interchange)
can i have some help please.
 
ok, i have found a question in maths, its about gradients,
can someone please, please help me answer this question.

which of the lines with these equations are parallel?
a) y=x-2 (b) y=2x-1 (c) y= -x+2 (d) y=x+2 (e) y=2x

help soon please
thanks
 
A point on question #1. A standard code means that everyone sees exactly what you see. Therefore tables, spaces, and set-ups are identical.

The second one reads a bit confusing for me, possible to elaborate?

Although I don't fully understand the question, so I'm not sure if this is the answer you need or not, lines A and D and lines B and E are both parallel.
 
Jordan, you are correct.

Megalomaniac, in an equation like this, the gradient is represented by the number immediately next to the 'x' character. Therefore y = x has a gradient of 1, because y rises (and falls) one point for each point that x rises (and falls).

The other number, which has no x next to it, is a vertical shift of the line.
 
I usually try to copy people's usernames verbatim, just in case they mean to do that. On this occasion I forgot to!
 
That's okay GileesGuthrie.

We understand. Hard.

Pass.

BTW,[as if me saying it makes it any more correct] Giles and Jordan are correct. ;)

Yeah - I noticed your post with it spelled correctly after I posted mine. Interestingly, I just learned that there's an "a" in there today. Coincidence.

Oh, and - because me saying it makes it more right - Giles, Jordan, and Klos are right. PassHard'll!
