The initial value of the graph is where
. Thus, in this case, the initial value is 12.
The rate of change of the graph is essentially the slope of the graph. In this case, we can use the slope formula:

and
are points on the graph
Let's use two points from the chart to find the slope:

In this case, the rate of change of the graph is 9.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The form of equation of line given in the problem is the point-slope form of a line. That is given by:

We need
and m (denoted by boxes)
is the y coordinate of the first set of points.
The first coordinate pair is (9,7), so
would be 7

Now, the slope (m).
It has formula

So, x_1 = 9
y_1 = 7
x_2 = 4
y_2 = -8
Substituting, we get the slope to be:

Hence, the equation of the line in point-slope is:

Answer:
its either -7 or 7 but im not super confidant in that answer but thats what makes sense to me
(12x3 - 14x2 - 40x) / (2x-5)
Rewriting we have:
(2x (2x-5) (3x + 4)) / (2x-5)
We simplify similar terms:
2x * (3x + 4)
We rewrite:
6x2 + 8x
Answer:
The simplified expression is given in this case by:
6x2 + 8x
You should study it helps I promise:)
