The graph of y=ax+b, where a≠0, is always a line:

i) increasing if a>0
ii) decreasing if a<0

Consider the decreasing case.

The line is above the x-axis, that is positive but decreasing. At 1 single point it cuts the x-axis, so x=0, and then it continues decreasing below the x-axis.


Back to our problem:

The graph of y=-1/2 x +2 is a decreasing line.,

so it CANNOT be
"positive over the interval (4, infinity) and negative over the interval (-infinity, 4)"

it is 

"<span>negative over the interval (4, infinity) and  positive over the interval (-infinity, 4)</span>"



the graph is "<span>positive over the interval (-infinity, 4)</span>", it means that the line is decreasing but above the x-axis until 4, (4 not included).

then, "negative over the interval (4, infinity)", which means that the line is now decreasing below the x-axis.

when x=4, the line cuts the x-axis.

Answer:

The unit rate is $8.89 /ft².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$160 for 18ft².

So, by dividing with 18

\frac{160}{18} we get 8.888.

Now, round to nearest hundredth for $8.888 is $8.89.

Therefore, the unit rate is $8.89 /ft².

Leona [35]

Result:

5 /5  : 1 /2  = 5 /5 · 2 /1   = 5 · 2 /5 · 1   = 10 /5  = 2

To divide one fraction by another, invert (turn upside-down) the second fraction, then multiply.
