3/8 times 2/5 is 6/40 or 0.15. Just multiply straight across
Answer:
rate of change is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
rate of change is the slope, so, pick any two relations given to us in the table.
(-3, -14) and (-1, -6).
slope = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1
slope = -6 - (-14)/-1-(-3)
slope = 8/2 = 4.
the rate of change is 4.
The answer you are looking for is b = -6.
There are 2 ways to find this. You could use...
- Add together 7 and 12 to get 19, then subtract 19 from both sides to get b = -6. OR...
- Subtract 12 from both sides to get b + 7 = 1, then subtract 7 from both sides to get b = -6.
Either way, you will get the same answer of b = -6. One method is just longer than the other. I hope this helps!
