The answer is A. 6x^2 hope this helps!
Answer:
A has a rate of change of -5 and is greater than Bs -4.5
Y=mx+b is the equation we must fill out, with x and y being their respective coordinates, m being the slope, and b being the y-intercept. The y intercept will be at (0, y), and the beginning of this problem already gives us the y-intercept: -4.
We now know y=mx-4. To find the slope, m, we’ll plug in one of the coordinates: (5, 1). The new equation is 1=m(5)-4. Solve this to get 5=m(5), and then m=1.
Now that we know the slope and y-intercept, we can conclude that the equation is y=x-4.
Answer: 26 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = current age of Louise (in years).
Then current age of James = x+6
Eight years from now, James's age = x+6+8= x+14
4 years ago, Louise's age = x-4
According to the question
x+14 = 4(x-4)
⇒ x+14 = 4x-16
⇒ 4x-x = 16+14
⇒ 3x = 30
⇒ x= 10 = current age of Louise (in years).
current age of James = 10+6 = 16 years
Sum of current ages = 16+10=26 years.
hence, the sum of the current ages is 26 years.
