The answer is:put the equation xa+yb=1 to the slope intercept form and find its slope and y-intercept.
It is 32.8 I just did %in my class today
The rate of change of the linear relationship is -1.
Explanation:
It is given that there is a linear relationship between all these points, these points lie on a straight line.
The equation to find the slope passing through two points
and
is given by

Substituting the points
and
, we get,

Thus, the slope is -1.
Thus, the rate of change of the linear relationship is -1.
Answer:
Third option
Step-by-step explanation:
We can't factor this so we need to use the quadratic formula which states that when ax² + bx + c = 0, x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a. However, we notice that b (which is 6) is even, so we can use the special quadratic formula which states that when ax² + bx + c = 0 and b is even, x = (-b' ± √(b'² - ac)) / a where b' = b / 2. In this case, a = 1, b' = 3 and c = 7 so:
x = (-3 ± √(3² - 1 * 7)) / 1 = -3 ± √2
