Answer: Choice A</h3>
Function 1 and the slope is -4/7
=================================================
Explanation:
The slope of y = mx+b is m, which is the number to the left of x.
For function 1
y = (-4/7)x - 4
the slope here is m = -4/7 = -0.57 approximately
Let's use the slope formula to find the slope of function 2 given by the table of values.
Pick any two rows from that table. I'll pick the first two rows.
m = (y2-y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (0.8 - 2)/(2 - 0)
m = -0.60
Comparing -0.57 and -0.60, we see that -0.57 is closer to zero on the number line. Meaning that function 1 has the less steep slope (i.e. more shallow slope). The further you go away from zero on the number line, in either direction, the slope will get steeper.
The answer is C because it only changes unless the 3 was -3
A) x * y = 209
B) 2x + 2y = 60
A) y = 209 / x putting this into equation B
B) 2x + (2 * 209 / x) = 60
2x + 418 / x = 60 multiplying by x
2x^2 + 418 = 60x
2x^2 -60x + 418 = 0
Solving by quadratic formula
x = 19
y = 11
