By definition the rate of change of a function is given by:

Or equivalently:

Substituting the values given in the problem we have:

Rewriting we have:
Answer:
the rate of change of the ramp is:
John's share of the money is 12.75.
38.25 ÷ 4.5 = 8.5

Answer:
y=-5x
Step-by-step explanation:
this is because slope intercept form is y=mx+b
if m= -5 and b=0 the answer would be
y=-5x+0
simplified it would be
y=-5x
Answer is A
Just make sure you do know how to do them :)
