You can replace u with -3 since u = -3. You should get something like this: -3 - 4(-3) + 3. This can be turned into -3 + 12 + 3, and subtracting negative numbers are the same as adding the positive version. -3 plus 12 is 9, and 9 plus 3 is 12. The final answer is 12. Hope this helps!
Answer:
A rate of 5/2 means that:
If we move 2 units to the right, we move 5 units up.
Let's see all the graphs, the easier way to know this is:
In any point of the line, move to the right 2 units.
Then from that point, move up until you meet again with the line, if you moved 5 units, then the slope is 5/2.
A) The slope is 5/2.
B) The slope is 4/2
C) the slope is 5/2
I can not see very well graphs E and D in the image.
E) may have a slope of 5/2, you should measure it.
D has not a slope of 5/2, you can compare it with A and see that is totally different, so you can discard option D.
Swap the shortest and longest pencil's places. You don't have to move the middle pencil.
