Answer:
3, fifths should be added.
2/10 = 1/5
4/10 = 2/5
6/10 = 3/5
Divide the tenth fractions by two, to get the anwser on the right.
Just say if a lb cost $2.17 divide 2.17 by 4 which is 0.5425 and 0.5425 times 3 = 1.6275 and 2.17 + 1.63 which is rounded = 3.7975
Answer: A) Greater than
The equation y = 2x+5 has a greater rate of change compared to the table.
=========================================
Pick any two points from the table. I'm going to pick the first two rows so I picked (-1,0) and (2,3) as the two points. From here, the idea is to use the slope formula
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (3-0)/(2 - (-1))
m = (3 - 0)/(2 + 1)
m = 3/3
m = 1
The slope of the line going through all of the points shown in the table is m = 1. So the rate of change for the table is also 1.
-------------
The slope of y = 2x+5 is m = 2. The equation y = 2x+5 is in the form y = mx+b. So the rate of change for y = 2x+5 is 2.
Comparing the table's rate of change to the equation's rate of change, we see that the equation's rate of change is larger.
