Galina-37 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

—5/4 or —1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x – 5 = 5x + 2x

Collect like terms

—5 = 5x + 2x — 3x

—5 = 4x

Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 4

x = —5/4 or —1 1/4

Which function is increasing at the highest rate? A. B. A linear function on a coordinate plane passes through (minus 1, 3), and
xenn [34]

The highest rate on increasing is of 12x -6y = -24; Option B is the correct answer.

The options are given in the image attached with the answer

<h3>What is a Function ?</h3>

A function is a law that relates a dependent variable and an independent variable.

It is asked among the options given , which is increasing at the highest rate.

To increase at a rate , the value of the slope , m should be > 0

For the Option 1

for a straight line function , the slope is given by

m = ( y₂ -y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

m = ( -3 -3)/(2- (-1)) = -6 /3 = -2

Therefore the function is decreasing

For Option 2

12x - 6y = -24

-6y = -12x -24

y = 2x +4

m = 2 (increasing)

For option 3

m = (-4 + 5)/(2-1) = 1

For Option 4

(8,0) (0,-4)

m = (-4 -0) /(0-8) = 4/8 = 1/2

The highest rate on increasing is of 12x -6y = -24

Therefore Option B is the correct answer.
