We will assume that we have a function relating between the time and the temperature. Any point in this function can be expressed as (x,y) where x is the time and y is the temperature (any point is expressed as (time, temperature)).
We have two points given:
<span>At 7 p.m. the temperature is 72 degrees F: First point is (7,72)
</span><span>At 10 p.m. the temperature is 52 degrees F: Second point is (10,52)
The rate of change is simply the slope of this function, this slope can be calculated as:
rate of change = (y2-y1) / (x2-x2)
we have y2= 52, y1= 72, x2= 10 and x1= 7
Substituting in the equation, we can calculate the rate of change as follows:
rate of change = (52-72) / (10-7) = -6.667 degrees/hours
Note: The negative sign indicated a DECREASE in the temperature.</span>
Okay sub equation 2 into equation 1:
so it becomes
x + 3x = 8
4x = 8
x = 2
then 2 + y = 8, therefore y = 6
So the answer is B
Answer: -3+x<2
Step-by-step explanation: can't be greater than 2.
Answer:
C. y = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x – 6y = 9
–3x + 3y = 9
-3y = 18
y = -6
