I drew the segment and used Pythagorean theorem to solve for its measure. The line formed is the hypotenuse of the imaginary right triangle.
Among the choices only -1.33 and -1.25 is a feasible choice. But I am leaning towards -1.25 as the y-value of point F based on my diagram. Please see attachment.
No there totally differnt
To represent the number of cans in each shelf you will divide the total number of cans by the number of shelves.
This is represented as
t/4 = n.
METHOD 1
f(3) = 20
f(4) = 30
f(5) = 42
f(6) = 56
rate of change
f(4)-f(3)=10
f(5)-f(4)=12
f(6)-f(5)=14
then the average of change is 10+12+14 /3 = 12
METHOD 2 --- faster
rate of change = f(6)-f(3) / 6-3
= (36+18+2)-(9+9+2) / 3
= 36/3 = 12
