Graph a line with a slope of -3 that contains the points (4,-2)
1 answer:
Answer:
see below for a graph
Step-by-step explanation:
To draw a graph on a grid, locate the point (4, -2) and use the slope to find another point. One such point will be 1 to the left and up 3*, at (3, 1). With two points, you can draw the line through them to complete the graph.

For a graphing tool that requires an equation, the point-slope form of the equation can be used:
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . a line of slope m through point (h, k)
For the given slope and point, the equation of the line is ...
y +2 = -3(x -4)
y = -3x +10
_____
* The slope is "rise" over "run". The slope of -3 means that a <em>run</em> of +1 will result in a <em>rise</em> of -3. The given point is already below the x-axis, so we don't really want to find more points farther down. In order to go up on a line with negative slope, we must choose a point to the left of the given one.

Answer:
Average rate of change = 20.2
Rate of change at the left endpoint : f' (5) = 4t = 20
Rate of change at the right endpoint : f' (5.1) = 4*5.1 = 20.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change of the function
F(t) = 2t^2 - 1 , [ 5,5.1 ]
solution
=
= [ 2 ( 26.01 - 25 ) / 0.1 ]
= 2.02 / 0.1 = 20.2
Rate of change at the left endpoint : f' (5) = 4t = 20
Rate of change at the right endpoint : f' (5.1) = 4*5.1 = 20.4
