If you look carefully at the graph, you may see that the slope of the line is
3-4 -1
---------------- = ------ = m
7-4 3
thus, you have the slope of the line and two points on the line. Suppose we
choose the point (4,4) and subst. the known slope and the coordinates of this point into the point-slope formula for the eqn of a str line:
y-y1 = m (x-x1)
y-4 = (-1/3)(x-4)
This is the desired equation. You could, if you wished, change this into slope-intercept form.
Just find the slope between the points
basically find (f(10)-f(7))/(10-7)
f(7)=7^2-3(7)-4=49-21-4=24
f(10)=10^2-3(10)-4=100-30-4=66
slope=(66-24)/(10-7)=42/3=14
average rate of change is 14
Answer:
A (0,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given trapezoid has vertices:
(0,6), (7,12), (7,9) and (0,12).
We want to choose from the given options, a point that is a vertex for the image produced by a dilation about the origin with a scale factor of 1/2.
Note that the mapping for such a dilation is:
This implies that:
Therefore correct choice is (0,3)
