slope m = - 2 → B

calculate m using the ' gradient formula '

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

choosing 2 'clear ' coordinates from the graph of the line

(x₁, y₁) = (0, 7) and (x₂, y₂) = (7, - 5\frac{(- 5 - 7)}{(6 - 0)}) = \frac{- 12}{6} = - 2


m =

What is the average rate of change for 5/6 and 15/14
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Average rate of change is <u>0.80.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The two points given are (5, 6) and (15, 14).

Average rate of change is the ratio of the overall change in 'y' and overall change in 'x'. If the overall change in 'y' is positive with 'x', then average rate of change is also positive and vice-versa.

The average rate of change for two points (x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2) is given as:

R=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Plug in x_1=5,x_2=15,y_1=6,y_2=14 and solve for 'R'. This gives,

R= \frac{14-6}{15-5}\\\\R=\frac{8}{10}\\\\R=0.80

Therefore, the average rate of change for the points (5, 6) and (15, 14) is 0.80.

To paint a house, a painting company charges a flat rate of $500 for supplies plus $50 for each hour of labor. What is the slope
Nataly_w [17]
The slope of the line is 50. You can try looking at the equation, which is

y=50x+500

500 is your y-intercept, and is where the cost starts.

50 is your slope, since the cost goes up by $50 every time.

x is how many hours, which determines how many $50s there are.

I hope this helps. All in all, the slope is 50.

Three teams, A, B and C, play in a competition.
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

42 games

Step-by-step explanation:

From the ratio, we can deduce that;

For every 3 games A won, B won 1

Thus, if B won 10, then A has won 3(10) = 30

From the second part;

For every 1 game won by C, B won 5

since B won 10, then C won 10/5 = 2

So the total number of games won is;

A + B + C

= 2 + 30 + 10 = 42 games
