Hello,

Let's r the ration

We suppose x ≠0

x=r*(x-2)==>r=x/(x-2)

x+3=r*x==> (x+3)/x=x/(x-2)==>(x+3)(x-2)=x²
==>x²+3x-2x-6=x² ==>x-6=0==>x=6

x-2=6-4=4
x=6
x+3=6+3=9
6=4*3/2
9=6*3/2

Ration 3/2
First term: 4

Choose the equations which have a greater rate of change than the graph.

NemiM [27]

Option C: $y=\frac{3}{10} x$ is the equation that have a greater rate of change.

Explanation:

From the graph the coordinates are (0,0), (20,6), (40,12), (60,18) and (100,30)

We need to determine the rate of change.

The rate of change can be determined using the formula,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substituting the any two coordinates in the formula, we get, the slope of the equation.

Let us substitute the coordinates (20,6) and (100,30)

Thus, we have,

$m=\frac{30-6}{100-20}$

Simplifying, we get,

$m=\frac{24}{80}$

Dividing, we get,

$m=\frac{3}{10}$

Also, the y - intercept of the equation is $b=0$

The equation of the line becomes $y=\frac{3}{10} x$

Thus, the equation that has a greater rate of change is $y=\frac{3}{10} x$

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
