Answer: C) 5
--------------
x = independent variable, y = dependent variable
Assuming this is a linear function, each increase of x by 2 leads to y going up by 10. So 10/2 = 5 is the unit increase each time x bumps up by 1.
-------------------
An alternative is to use the slope formula to get
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (25 - 15)/(4 - 2)
m = 10/2 <--- this expression shows up again
m = 5 <---- leading to the same answer as before
So we see that the slope formula is a more drawn out method to finding the answer.
Answer:
1. Number line 2
2. Number line 1
3. Number line 4
4. Number line 3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x – 99 ≤ -104
Solving by adding +99 on both sides
x - 99 +99 ≤ -104 +99
x ≤ -5
Number line 2 represent x ≤ -5
2. x – 51 ≤ -43
Adding +51 on both sides
x -51 +51 ≤ -43 +51
x ≤ 8
Number line 1 represent x ≤ 8
3. 150 + x ≤ 144
Adding -150 on both sides
150 + x -150 ≤ 144 -150
x ≤ -6
Number line 4 represent x ≤ -6
4. 75 < 69 – x
Adding +x on both sides
75 + x < 69 -x +x
x < 69 -75
x < -6
Number line 3 represent x < -6
