If f(x) is given with points (0,5) and (4,3), it can be easily plotted in a coordinate system (see .jpeg image in attachment).If g(x) is a function defined by text:
Kyle started the summer having read 3 books but plans to read 6 books per month over the summer.Then, g(x) is given with:
g(x) = 6*x+3 (3 books read already, and 6 books will be read each month).h(x) is already given with:
h(x)=3*x+4
These all three functions are plotted in coordinate system and it can be seen that the lowest y-intercept has function g(x), and it is the value of 3 on y-axis. Others have 4 (h(x)) and 5 (f(x)).
The answer for x should be X= -9
Rate is closer to a constant pattern , example: I'm walking at a rate of 2 miles an hour.
Ratio is related to the proportion of two or more objects, example: The ratio for a perfect tang juice is 1 packet of tang dust thingy for 1.5 liters of water.
Hope it helps :)
