#1 is 65 by 75, next is 3 by 9, and the last is 75 by 25
Let's say, the number is "a"
thus
cross-multiply and solve for "a"
Answer:
1. $450
2. $128
Step-by-step explanation:
1. new price = .4 (.4 * original price x)
72 = .16x
x = 450
2. new price = .75 (.75 * original price x)
72 = .5625x
x = 128
The average rate of change of a linear function is the slope of the line. Since we are given the following coordinates:
(0,150) and (3,0)
We can easily solve for the slope.
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (0 - 150) / (3 - 0) = -50
Therefore, the average rate of change of the function in the three seconds is -50.
