Answer: Function 2 has a greater rate of change by 13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We must work with linear equations, remember that the general shape is:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Ok, first we want to find the rate of change (or the slope) of the graphed line:

We know that for a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

The slope is:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Then for the graphed function, we can see that it passes through the points:

(0, -2) and (4, 0)

Then the slope is:

a = (0 -(-2))/(4 - 0) = 2/4 = 1/2

Now, the slope of the second line is 15/4.

Let's calculate the difference between the slopes:

15/4 - 1/2 = 15/4 - 2/4 = 13/4

(notice that we are calculating slope2 - slope1)

Then the correct option is:

Function 2 has a greater rate of change by 13/4

gavmur [86]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of a line given two points from

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-2-4)/(1--2)

= (-6)/(1+2)

=-6/3

Point Q' is the image of Q(-7, -6) under the translation (x, y) + (x + 12, y + 8).

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The co-ordinates of Q' is (5,2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Pre-image point

Q(-7,-6)

To find Image point Q' after following translation.

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x+12,y+8)$

Solution:

Translation rules:

Horizontal shift:

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x+k,y)$

when $K>0$ the point is translated $k$ units to the right.

when $K$ the point is translated $k$ units to the left.

Vertical shift:

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x,y+k)$

when $K>0$ the point is translated $k$ units up.

when $K$ the point is translated $k$ units down.

Given translation $(x,y)\rightarrow (x+12,y+8)$ shows the point is shifted 12 units to the right and 8 units up.

The point Q' can be given as:

Q'= $(-7+12,-6+8)=(5,2)$

So, the co-ordinates of Q' is (5,2). (Answer)

Write a proportion to find how many points x a student needs to score on a test worth 50 points to get a test score of 78%.

olganol [36]

The answer is: "39 points" .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________________________
" x/ 50 = 78/100 " ; in which "x" equals the number of points needed.

_______________________________________________________

To solve for "x" ;
_______________________________________________________

Look at the denominators: 50 * (what value?) = 100.

→ "100 ÷ 50 = 2" .

→ So; "50 * 2 = 100" ;

So, let us look at the numerators:

x * 2 = 78 ;

↔ 2x = 72 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_____________________________________________
→ 78 ÷ 2 = 39 ;

The answer is: "39 points" .
