We have to compute: Δ y / Δ x.
The interval is [ 2, 5 ] and y = 4 x - 9.
y 1 = 4 · 2 - 9 = 8 - 9 = - 1
y 2 = 4 · 5 - 9 = 20 - 9 = 11
Δ y / Δ x = ( y 2 - y 1 ) / ( x 2 - x 1 ) =
= ( 11 - ( - 1 ) ) / ( 5 - 2 ) = ( 11 + 1 ) / 3 = 12 / 3 = 4
Answer:
Δ y / Δ x = 4

2, or any negative number
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of 3-point questions.
Let y represent the number of 5-point questions.
The maths test consists of 24 questions. This means that
x + y = 24
Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 and the test is worth 100 points. This means that
3x + 5y = 100 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 24 - y into equation 1, it becomes
3(24 - y) + 5y = 100
72 - 3y + 5y = 100
- 3y + 5y = 100 - 72
2y = 28
y = 28/2 = 14
Substituting y = 14 into x = 24 - y , it becomes
x = 24 - 14 = 10
