Answer:
Commutative Property of Multiplication.
Answer:
a) -3 gallons per hour
b) y = -3x +14
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of change is computed by dividing the amount of change by the interval over which it occurred.
<h3>a)</h3>
Here the amount of gas decreased from 14 to 2 gallons, so a decrease of 14-2 = 12 gallons. That occurred over a 4-hour period, so the rate of change is (-12 gallons)/(4 hours) = -3 gallons/hour.
__
<h3>b)</h3>
The initial amount was 14 gallons, so the equation for the line describing remaining gas will be ...
y = -3x +14 . . . . gas in the tank after x hours
All the points if they lay on top of eachother
if they arent on top of eachother, they can intersect at 2 points
Answer:
y = - 3x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 8)
m =
=
= - 3 , thus
y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (2, 1) , then
1 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = 1 + 6 = 7
y = - 3x + 7 ← equation of line
Answer:
The slope of this line is -4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, you need to solve the equation for y.
4x + y = -9
y = -4x - 9
The slope in this form is always the coefficient of x, making it -4.
