The constant speed, or "average rate of change" is their slope.

so  hmmm looking at Fred's graph, let's pick two points on the line, say 0,0 the origin and 8,2

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
&({{8}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{2-0}{8-0}\implies \cfrac{2}{8}\implies \cfrac{1}{4}

now, for Sam, let's use the last two points in the table then,

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ 20}}\quad ,&{{ 2\frac{1}{2}}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
&({{32}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{4-2\frac{1}{2}}{32-20}\implies \cfrac{4-\frac{5}{2}}{32-20}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\quad \frac{8-5}{2}\quad }{12}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{3}{2}\quad }{\frac{12}{1}}\implies \cfrac{3}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{12}\implies \cfrac{1}{8}

Answer:

The constant speed of Freddy is o.25 miles per minute

Constant speed of Sam is 0.125 miles per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the constant speed , find out the slope using any two points

Fast  Freddy:

(4,1) (8,2)

To find slope apply slope formula

slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{2-1}{8-4} =\frac{1}{4}=0.25

Constant speed is 1/4

Speedy Sam:

(4,0.5) and (32,4)

slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{4-0.5}{32-4} =0.125

The constant speed of Freddy is o.25 miles per minute

Constant speed of Sam is 0.125 miles per minute

What is translation with 5 units right and 1 up
Leviafan [203]
Since you did not provide the coordinates, I can't provide an exact answer. 
However, I can tell you this; from the initial x-coordinate, move right 5 units. from the initial-y coordinate, move up 1 unit and you will have your answer.

Which equation can be used to find the perimeter of a regular octagon with sides of length 12?
USPshnik [31]
Octagans have 8 sides.
Perimeter is thought of as the length a piece of string would be if it was layed around the edges of the shape.
There are 8 sides, each 12units in length.
Perimeter=8*12=96units
