Before the fraction: -1/2, i have a negative sign
use y=mx+b
3=-1/2(2)+b
3+1=-1+b+1
4=b
check your work
0=-1/2x+4
0+4=-1/2x
(4)÷(-1/2)=(-1/2x)÷(-1/2)
-2=x
another pair is (-2,0) use this to figure out the other points, and/or the points you have in the multiple choice.
Rate of Change:
At 1 mile in 30 seconds.
At 5 miles in 2.5 minutes. 2.5 minutes = 2.5*60 = 150 seconds.
Rate of change = Change in height / Change in time
= (h₂-h₁)/(t₂-t₁)
= (5 -1) /(150 -30) = 4/120 = (1/30) = 0.0333 miles per second.
= (1/30) miles per second or 0.0333 miles per second.
To have the answer in miles per minute.
(1/30) miles per second = (1/30) miles/second.
60 seconds = 1minute
1 second = (1/60) minute.
(1/30) miles/second = (1/30) miles/(1/60)minute
= (1/30) *60 miles / minute
= 2 miles per minute.
Its 25 for the second one
