In order to get the average rate you should do the y2-y1/x2-x1 formula. lets see our points are (5,-2)(9,14).. so our formula should be filled like 14+2/9-5, now subtract or add to get 16/4 now divide to get positive 4..
Hope this helps
Answer:
1. 
2. 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Variation: inverse Proportion
y = 7, x = 9
Required
- Write an equation connecting y and x
- Find y when x = 21
Given that thee variation is inversely proportional;
This implies that

Convert variation to equation
----------- Equation 1
Where k is the constant of variation
Substitute 7 for y and 9 for x in equation 1

Multiply both sides by 9


Substitute 63 for k in equation 1

Multiply both sides by x


Hence, the equation connecting x and y is 
Solving for when x = 21
Substitute 21 for x in the above equation

Divide both sides by 21


The graph of the piecewise function includes
(1) a straight line passing through point (-3, 0) and stopping at point (0, 3) with an unshaded small circle at the end of point (0, 3) and an arrow at the other end.
(2) a shaded small circle at point (0, 5), and
(3) a straight line starting at the point (0, -1) and passing through the point (2, 3) with an unshaded small circle at the point (0, -1) and an arrow at the other end.
2 times 2=4
multiply first equation by 2 to get
-4x+6y=12
then add to get
-4x+6y=12
<u>4x-2y=8 +</u>
0x+4y=20
4y=20
y=5
sub back
-2x+3y=6
-2x+3(5)=6
-2x+15=6
-2x=-9
x=9/2=4.5
the number to multiply by is 2
42 = 2 * 3 * 7
So, <span>the combination for the lock is 237</span>
