The slope is 2.
The slope is 1/2.
The y intercept is 4.
The y intercept is 8
The points (-2,-5) and (8,0) are also on the line
The points (-5,-2) and (1,10) are also in the line.
Answer:
The answer is 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
It takes Rita 22.75 on average, and it take Erika 21.55 to walk the mile on average.
21.55 + 1.2 = 22.75
therefore, it takes Erika 1.2 minutes per mile less than Rita.
Answer:
6/5 or 1.2, they're the same value
Step-by-step explanation:
When it says "rate of change", it's really just asking for the slope. If you don't know what the slope is, essentially how much the y-value increases by whenever x increases by 1. This can be formally defined using the equation:
which is essentially
. The subtraction is finding the difference between the two numbers to see how much it's changed by. Btw the order doesn't matter, I could plug in (-3, -2) as (x2, y2) or I could plug it in as (x1, y1) as long as I make sure to input it in correctly. In this example I'll just say (-3, -2) = (x1, y1) and (2, 4) = (x2, y2). Plugging these values into the equation gives you:
that's the rate of change
Your answer will be 1/55 or A because, at the beginning of the problem it states "you are one of 55 people" ((:
