Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The rate of change is also known as the slope.

Standard equation of a line: y = mx + b

y: output
m: slope
x: input
b: y-intercept

So, if we match the standard form to the given function:

y = mx + b
y = -1/4x + 1

-1/4 is m, or the rate of change.

A clothing store sold 4 times as many sweaters as coats. The difference in the sales was 300. How many of each were sold?

slava [35]

Sweater = 400
coats = 100
difference= 300
in an equation it would be
4x-x=300
so
3x=300
x=100
sweaters= 4x= 400
coats= x= 100
