Answer:
Part 1) The rate of change is 
Part 2) The initial value is 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where
m is the slope or rate of change
b is the y-intercept or initial value
step 1
Find the slope or rate of change
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

we have the points
(5,12)and (2,6)
substitute the values in the formula



therefore
The rate of change is 
step 2
Find the initial value
we have


substitute in the equation 

solve for b

---> initial value
The linear equation is equal to

The y-intercept or initial value is 2
Answer:
product A on machine 1 would make 27 units (rounded down) 81 dollars profit.
product A on machine 2 would make 25 units (rounded down) 75 dollars profit.
product b on machine 1 would make 15 units (rounded down) 75 dollars profit.
product b on machine 2 would make 16 units (rounded down) 80 dollars profit.
Step-by-step explanation:
a1 refers to product a on machine 1
a2 refers to product a on machine 2
same rule applies for product b 1 and 2
7,125 divided by 57000 = 1.25
rounded to 1.3%
Answer:
/
Step-by-step explanation:
firstly we make two steps to simplify this question.
1st step: simplify 
to simplify this we use factorization


.....(1)
2nd step:simplify 


.....(2)
now dividing (1) and (2), we get the answer

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Automatically if you use the intercept (where it cuts the line) which would be 3.
