Maybe it the mixed number form. 2 1/2?
We can't tell from the graph whether the left point of each step is included, or the right point. If the left, this is a graph of
y = 7 + floor(x)
400/2 = 200
200 + 20 = 220
200 - 20 = 180
Answer: He had gone 220 miles.
He was 180 miles from the finish and 220 from the start, so he was 40 miles closer to the finish than to the start.
the function is increasing from x = 0 to x = 1
when x = 0, y = 2
when x = 1, y = 8
this shows an increase of +6, so we know this statement is true
we can see the rest are false simply because they state a decrease when there is an increase. this question is only confusing because we ask you about the increase and decrease in the function, when really its the same thing as asking about an increase or decrease in the y variable.
in other words, all youre looking for is the variation of the value of the y variable that is attached to the specific x variables.
hope this helps!!
