Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So
f(x) = -8x +11, for f(-4).
= -8(-4)+11
= 32 + 11
= 43
f(0) = 2(3)(0) = 0 ⇒ (0, 0)
f(1) = 2(3)(1) = 6 ⇒ (1, 6)
<u>rate of change from x = 0 to x = 1</u>
=
=
= 6
******************************************
f(2) = 2(3)(2) = 12 ⇒ (2, 12)
f(3) = 2(3)(3) = 18 ⇒ (3, 18)
<u>rate of change from x = 2 to x = 3</u>
=
=
= 6
*****************************************
Since it is the same line, they will have the same slope (aka rate of change).
I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
Answer:
d is 6
b is 7
c is 4
e is 5
a is 1
