Question:

Consider two different proportional relationships represented by the equations y=3x y = 3x and y=12x y = \frac{1}{2}x . When graphing these equations on the same coordinate plane, how would you describe the relationship between their slopes?

Answer Choices:

  • A) The slope of the first equation is greater.
  • B) The slope of the second equation is greater.
  • C) The slopes are equal.
  • D) The slopes are reciprocals.
✅ Answer:
The slope of the first equation is greater.

💡 Explanation:

  • In the equation y=mx y = mx , the coefficient m m represents the slope of the line.

  • For the equation y=3x y = 3x , the slope is 3.

  • For the equation y=12x y = \frac{1}{2}x , the slope is 12 \frac{1}{2} .

  • Since 3 is greater than 12 \frac{1}{2} , the slope of the first equation is greater.

Question:

Analyze the push-pull factors that led to increased immigration to the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Discuss at least two push factors and two pull factors, and explain how these contributed to ethnic and cultural conflicts in American society.

✅ Answer:
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several push-pull factors influenced immigration to the United States. Push factors included economic hardship and political instability in countries like Italy, Ireland, and parts of Eastern Europe. Many people faced unemployment, poverty, and oppressive governments, which compelled them to leave. Pull factors included the promise of economic opportunities and political freedom in the United States. The expanding industrial economy offered jobs in factories, and the notion of the American Dream attracted many immigrants seeking a better life. However, the influx of diverse ethnic groups led to cultural conflicts as immigrants often settled in ethnic enclaves, faced discrimination, and competed for jobs with native-born Americans. This resulted in tension and sometimes violence, as seen in the rise of nativist movements and restrictive immigration laws.

💡 Explanation:

  • The push-pull factors are economic hardships and political instability in home countries (push) and economic opportunities and political freedom in the U.S.
  • (pull).
  • These factors led to increased immigration and subsequent ethnic and cultural conflicts due to competition for jobs and cultural differences, which led to discriminatory practices and nativist sentiments.
