The rise of -7 means that there is 7 less. The fall of 7 would mean that it is also 7 less. So, yes. They are both the same thing.
Answer:
Non-proportional; the rate of change is $40/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
or
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line <u>and the line passes through the origin</u>
Let
x -----> the number of hours
y ----> The total charge in dollars
The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
we have

substitute

This relationship is not proportional, because the line not passes through the origin
therefore
Non-proportional; the rate of change is $40/hour
The answer choices are sufficiently far apart that you can work this backward. The sum will be ...
236,196*(1 + 1/3 + 1/9 + 1/27 + ...)
so a reasonable estimate can be given by an infinite series with a common ratio of 1/3. That sum is
236,196*(1/(1 - 1/3)) = 236,196*(3/2)
Without doing any detailed calculation, you know the best answer choice is ...
354,292
_____
There are log(236196/4)/log(3) + 1 = 11 terms* in the series, so the sum will be found to be 4(3^11 -1)/(3-1) = 2*(3^11-1) = 354,292.
Using the above approach (working backward from the last term), the sum will be 236,196*(1-(1/3)^11)/(1-(1/3)) = 236,196*1.49999153246 = 354,292
___
* If you just compute log(236196/4)/log(3) = 10 terms, then your sum comes out 118,096--a tempting choice. However, you must realize that the last term is larger than this, so this will not be the sum. (In fact, the sum is this value added to the last term.)
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
slope is rise over run
6/2 simplifyed is 3/1 or just 3
