Hello,
The rate of change is the slope (rise/run, y/x). To find that, we use the equation (y2-y1) over (x2-x1). It means take the second "y" and subtract it from the first "y" and the same to "x". If I plug in the numbers, it would be (3-6) over (5-4), and after you subtract, the answer simplifies to: -3/ 1 which is -3. Yay! We got the slope (rate of change) done.
Now let's find the y-intercept by using the formula of point-slope form,
y-y1= m (slope) (x-x1). This is saying you "y" is subtracted from the first
"y" of the points which equals the slope (m) times the quantity of "x" subtracted by the first "x" of the points.
Let's plug the numbers in: y-6 = -3 (x-4). Let's distribute -3 to the parenthesis, and after that it should simplify to: y-6 = -3x + 12. To get "y" by itself, add 6 to both sides: y = -3x +18. We have finally found the slope-intercept equation for those two points (4,6) and (5,3). To then find the y-intercept in this equation, it would be the 18, because -3 is the slope, so that makes 18 the y-intercept.
In conclusion, the rate of change is -3 and the y-intercept is 18.
I hope this helps!

Given:
The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p) has a gradient of
.
To find:
The value of p.
Solution:
If a line passes through two points, then the slope of the line is:

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p). So, the slope of the line is:



It is given that the gradient or slope of the line is
.

On cross multiplication, we get




Divide both sides by 2.

Therefore, the value of p is 3.
Total number of marbles:
75 + 50 + 100 + 25 =
250
Probability of selecting a red marble:
25/250 (since 25 out of 250 marbles are red)
Since the top and bottom of this fraction are both divisible by 25, we can go ahead and divide them both by 25, simplifying to
1/10.
Probability of selecting a green marble:
50/250
Simplifies to 2/10
Simplifies to
1/5.
Probability of selecting a blue or orange marble
(75+100)/250
175/250
Simplifies to
7/10.
To find the probability that each event occurs in order, simply multiply them all together.
A) 0.15 times $2,570 = $412.50
B) $122.85 times 2( 12 ) = $2,948.40
C) $2,570
D) All together it's $2,948.40 + $2,570 = $5,518.40
For D I didn't add the down payment because it's not an additional charge.
I only did the first one because I don't know if you want me to finish the rest.
Hope I helped :)
Formula for trapezoid area is A=b1+b2 x heightx 1/2 so your answer would be 161m squared
