The correct answer is B. The function has a constant rate of change, decreasing for all x at a rate of 6.
In order to find the rate of change, we have to identify the slope. The slope is always the coefficient of x when in slope intercept form. In this case it is -6, which means it decreases at a rate of 6.

Find the common multiples:
Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48
Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45
The common multiples are 18 and 36
The first person in line to get both free would be the 18th person and then the 36th person.
So she is correct that the 36th person would get both free, but they wouldn't be the first person to do it.

Answer:
The height of the triangle could be found by the <u>Pythagoras theorem</u>, where the result is, with the data of the exercise:
- <u>Height of the triangle = 10.392</u>
And the area of the triangle is:
- <u>Area of the triangle = 31.176 units^2</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have two measurements of a triangle, as the case in the picture, you can find the third with the <em>Pythagoras theorem</em>, which is:
- <u>(opposite leg)^2 + (adjacent leg)^2 = hypotenuse^2</u>
As you can see in the picture, the measurement of the hypotenuse is 12, and the opposite leg could be 6, for this reason, we're gonna clear the adjacent leg of the formula above:
- (opposite leg)^2 + (adjacent leg)^2 = hypotenuse^2
- (adjacent leg)^2 = hypotenuse^2 - (opposite leg)^2
Now, we can replace the values in the formula obtained:
- (adjacent leg)^2 = hypotenuse^2 - (opposite leg)^2
- (adjacent leg)^2 = 12^2 - 6^2
- (adjacent leg)^2 = 144 - 36
- (adjacent leg)^2 = 108
Now, as we just need the adjacent leg, we take the square root of both sides:
- adjacent leg =
- <u>adjacent leg = 10.392 approximately</u>.
Now, with these data, we can find the area of the triangle with the next formula:
- Area of a triangle = (base * height) / 2
- And we replace the measurements:
- Area of a triangle = (6 * 10.392) / 2
- <u>Area of a triangle = 31.176</u>
As the image does not contain units, it would be simply this number, however, <em>you should know that the area units are usually given squared, for example: in^2 or ft^2</em>.
