Answer:

400 people

Step-by-step explanation:

15 = 12

500 = x

Cross multiply

15x = 12 × 500

Divide both sides by 15

\frac{15x}{15} = \frac{12 * 500}{15}  (* means multiplication if you do not know)

\frac{12 * 500}{15} = 100 × 4= 400 people

Divide 500 by 15 that equals 33.33 then multiply that number by 12 and that equals 399.96 which is then rounded up to 400/500 people prefer eating out rather than cooking at home.

what is the rate of change for the linear relationship modeled in the table? x y −1 10 1 9 3 8 5 7 -1/2 0 1/2 2
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Rate of change for the linear relationship modeled is \dfrac{-1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

As the there is a linear relationship in the points, so all these points will be on a single straight line. Hence the slope will be same throughout all the points.

We know that, the slope of the line joining (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is,

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Putting the points as (-1, 10) and (1, 9), we get

m=\dfrac{9-10}{1-(-1)}

=\dfrac{9-10}{1+1}

=\dfrac{-1}{2}

Rate of change is the slope of the line joining all these points.
