Step-by-step explanation:
the rate of change is officially
(f(x2) - f(x1)) / (x2 - x1)
but for a line function (as we have here) this is totally easy : it is the slope of the line.
and that means it is the factor of x.
in our case this is -3/2.
because the slope of a line is the ratio "y coordinate change / x coordinate change". and that is exactly corresponding to the general rate of change definition above.
Answer:
16:20??
Lol I think it's wrong sorry.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
(length of tree's shadow)/(height of tree) = (length of person's shadow)/(person's height)
24/x = 8/5
24*5 = x*8
120 = 8x
8x = 120
8x/8 = 120/8
x = 15
The tree is 15 feet tall
