Slope? rate of change is slop so try that
32 is your initial value, because that is what he starts with
To solve these problems you need to use the quadratic formula which is listed below.

So, if you take #2.
The

has a 1 in front of it. The x has a -3 in front of it. The last number is also -3. So:
a = 1
b = -3
c = -3
Then you can plug all of these into the equation and simplify. Which gives you:
When an absolute value is changed in the horizontal, <em>the units in change are inside the "bars"</em>, and are as follows: <em>left = positive, right = negative</em>.
Therefore, the equation is y = | x - 6.5 |.
A/B : 4/9 = 12/B
cross multiply
(4)(B) = (9)(12)
4B = 108
B = 108/4
B = 27
P = 4a...where a is the length of one side
P = 4(27)
P = 108 yds <=== perimeter of square B
