To find slope, we must find the change in y values divided by the change in x values, also called the rise/run. This is modeled below:
Slope = m = (y1 - y2)/(x1-x2) = (6-(-3))/(1 - (-6)) = (6+3)/(1+6) = 9/7
We can check that this answer is correct by consulting the graph. The graph shows a positive correlation (means that the slope should be positive), and if you count the graph unit squares, you get that the graph moves up 9 squares and over 7 squares between the two points shown, letting us know we got the right answer.
Hope this helps!
First, lets create a equation for our situation. Let

be the months. We know four our problem that <span>Eliza started her savings account with $100, and each month she deposits $25 into her account. We can use that information to create a model as follows:
</span>

<span>
We want to find the average value of that function </span>from the 2nd month to the 10th month, so its average value in the interval [2,10]. Remember that the formula for finding the average of a function over an interval is:

. So lets replace the values in our formula to find the average of our function:
![\frac{25(10)+100-[25(2)+100]}{10-2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B25%2810%29%2B100-%5B25%282%29%2B100%5D%7D%7B10-2%7D%20)



We can conclude that <span>the average rate of change in Eliza's account from the 2nd month to the 10th month is $25.</span>
6 + 9y - 18 = -3 Combine like terms (6 and -18)
9y - 12 = -3 Add 12 to both sides
9y = 9 Divide both sides by 9
y = 1
The domain is the set of x-values of a function. The range is the set of y-values of a function.
You are told that the domain, or x-values, are -8, -6, -3, -2, and 2. To find the range, you just need to plug in each of the x-values into the function <span>y = -3x + 7 and find the value of y.
1) When x = -8:
</span><span>y = -3x + 7
y = -3(-8) + 7
y = 24 + 7
y = 31
2) When x = -6
</span>y = -3x + 7
y = -3(-6) + 7
y = 18 + 7
y = 25
3) When x = -3
y = -3x + 7
y = -3(-3) + 7
y = 9 + 7
y = 16
4) When x = -2
y = -3x + 7
y = -3(-2) + 7
y = 6 + 7
y = 13
5) When y = 2
y = -3x + 7
y = -3(2) + 7
y = -6 + 7
y = 1
The range is {31, 25, 16, 13, 1}.
