Answer:
a) x changes by 6.5 units
b) y changes by 13 units
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Over this interval, how much does x change by?
Initially, we have that x = 2.
In the end, we have that x = 8.5.
So x changes by 8.5-2 = 6.5 units
b. Over this interval, how much does y change by?
Initially, when x = 2, we have that y = 2x + 11 = 2*2 + 11 = 15
In the end, when x = 8.5, we have that y = 2*8.5 + 11 = 28
So y changes by 28 - 15 = 13 units
