Answer:

When someone puts on 20 pounds then, the rate of change of height or the height increases by 0.534 inches.                  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation:

Predicted height = (0.0267 inches per pound)(weight) + 65.2

Let y b the predicted height in inches and x be the weight in pounds.

y =65.2 + 0.0267x

Comparing to general form of equation:

y = mx +c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

m = 0.0267

Interpretation of slope:

Th slope tells us about the rate of change that is when the weight increases by 1 unit that is 1 pound then, the height increases by 0.0267 inches.

When someone puts on 20 pounds:

y(x+20)-y(x) =65.2 + 0.0267(x+20) - 65.2 - 0.0267x\\y(x+20)-y(x) = 0.534

Interpretation:

Thus, when someone puts on 20 pounds then, the rate of change of height or the height increases by 0.534 inches.

The sign would be negative

X is in the negative area meaning that when x/y and multiplied by y, it would stay negative since y is positive

Does this table represent a function? why or why not? x: 2 3 3 4 5 y: 1 4 3 2 5
gayaneshka [121]
Let's put the chart into ordered pairs:
(x, y)
(2,1)
(3,4)
(3,3)
(4,2)
(5,5)

In bold, we see that there are two y-values at x=3. This means that this relation fails the vertical line test (two points on the same verticle line). This is not a function. 

The answer options may be mis-written. 
The answer is no, because one x value corresponds to more than one y-value.

What is the image of point (0,3) for mapping (x,y) (x-2,y-3)
Ann [662]
When it asks for the image, that means what are your new coordinates after doing the rules they give you. In this, the rule is to subtract 2 from your x value and subtract 3 from the y value. So you subtract 2 from 0 and subtract 3 from 3. This will give you the values to use for the x and y of your answer:)
