Question

The function with a rate of change of 3/2 whose graph passes through the point (4,10.5)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 1.5x+4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's try to fit this into slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept.

Rate of change means slope, so m=3/2 = 1.5.

y = 3/2x+b

We can plug in the given point, remembering that it's in the form (x,y), so x=4, y=10.5.

y = 3/2x+b

10.5 = 3/2*4 + b

4.5 = b

Plug b back in.

y = 1.5x+4.5
