1 answer:

8 0

Let x the age of John
Amy's age = x + 9
from question, we get,
John's age + Amy's age = 23
x+(x+9)= 23
=> x + x + 9 = 23
=> 2x = 23 - 9
=> x = 14/2
=> x = 7

The table represents some points on the graph of a linear function.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

B. $-\frac{9}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change of y with respect to x, can be calculated using any two of the pairs of values of the table, say, (-2, 12) and (0, 3).

Rate of change = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Let,

$(-2, 12) = (x_1, y_1)$

$(0, 3) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

Rate of change = $\frac{3 - 12}{0 - (-2)} = \frac{-9}{2} = -\frac{9}{2}$
