The average rate of change of a linear function is the slope of the line. Since we are given the following coordinates:
(0,150) and (3,0)
We can easily solve for the slope.
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (0 - 150) / (3 - 0) = -50
Therefore, the average rate of change of the function in the three seconds is -50.
Answer:
140 ml
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of water in Beaker X and y be the amount of water in Beaker Y.
<u>Then we get following equations:</u>
<u>First part</u>
- x - 50 = 3/7(y + 50)
- 7x -350 = 3y + 150
- 7x = 3y + 500
<u>Second part</u>
- x + 100 = 4(y - 100)
- x + 100 = 4y - 400
- x = 4y - 500
<u>Substitute x in first equation:</u>
- 7(4y - 500) = 3y + 500
- 28y - 3500 = 3y + 500
- 28y - 3y = 500 + 3500
- 25y = 4000
- y = 4000/25
- y = 160 ml
<u>Then finding x:</u>
- x = 4*160 - 500
- x = 640 - 500
- x = 140 ml
Initial amount of water in Beaker X is 140 ml, in Beaker Y is 160 ml

Answer:
Susie reaches the store first being ahead by 0.06 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
20 miles going 45 miles/hour.
20 miles / (45 miles / hour) = 20 miles hours / 45 miles =
= 20 hours / 45 = 4/9 hours = 0.44 hours
25 miles going 50 miles/hour.
25 miles / (50 miles / hour) = 25 miles hours / 50 miles =
= 25 hours / 50 = 1/2 hours = 0.5 hours
So Susie needs less time (= arrives first).
the difference is 0.5 - 0.44 = 0.50-0.44 = 0.06 hours
as additional practice :
0.06 hours is 60 × 0.06 minutes.
60 × 0.06 = 60 × 6 / 100 = 360 / 100 = 3.6 minutes.
