What is the rate of change of the function y = − 1/4 x + 1

Mathematics
1 answer:
scoray [572]3 years ago
8 0

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 couch ,a love seat,and a chair cost $1565.the couch costs twice as much as the chair,and the love seat costs $ 400 more than t
Art [367]
I'm guessing you are having a problem with translating the problem into an equation you can solve. To help this what you can first do is underline the important parts of this problem. twice as much, 400 more,
Lets look at this 
First Let the chair=x
Next we know the couch cost twice as much as the chair
So now we know we should let the couch=2x
Lastly the love seat is 400 more than the couch. couch+400is the same thing as saying 2x+400
NOw 1565=chair(x)+couch(2x)+love seat(2x+400)
So that means 1565=x+2x+2x+400
Combine like terms and you now have 1565=5x+400
Now you isolate the variable by subtracting 400 from both sides which is 1165=5x Then you divide both sides by 5 and get 223=x

PLEASE HELP THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT I WILL GIVE YOU BRAIN THING IF ITS CORRECT (you can use a calculator if you want)
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

1. B.

2. A, E.

3. D.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 8.225 ÷ 5 = 1.645

2. 892 ÷ 8 = 111.5

8920 ÷ 80 = 111.5

894 ÷ 10 = 89.4

89.2 ÷ 0.08 = 1115

8.92 ÷ 0.8 = 11.15

0.892 ÷ 0.008 = 111.5

3. 4367 ÷ 0.004 = 1,091,750

The height of a triangle is 3cm less than twice the base. The area is 10cm2
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The base is 4cm and the height is 5cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a solve the system question. Call H the height of the triangle and B the base. The question tells us:

H=2B-3

and

\frac{B \times H}{2}=10

Sub the first equation into the second (as H is already isolated). You will end up with a quadratic equation - solve that any way you wish (e.g. quadratic formula). I've provided the factored form below which shows you the roots:

\frac{B(2B-3)}{2}=10\\\frac{2B^2-3B}{2}=10\\2B^2-3B=20\\2B^2-3B-20=0\\(2B+5)(B-4)=0\\B= - \frac{5}{2},4

In this question, we take B=4. You can't have a negative side length so the other answer is eliminated. Now sub the value for B into either of the original equations. I'll use the first, again because H is already isolated:

H=2(4)-3\\H=8-3\\H=5
