Answer:
It's letter b
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope this help
Slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)
(there is probably another way to do this, but I will be doing it this way)
Isolate the "y" in the equation
3x + 4y = 12 Subtract 3x on both sides
4y = 12 - 3x Divide 4 on both sides
or 
The slope is -3/4
For lines to be parallel, they have to have the SAME slope. The given line's slope is -3/4, so the slope of the parallel line is also 
Answer:
Then the solution is (4, 6).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the substitution method:
First multiply the second equation by 4, obtaining 4y = -2x + 32.
Now substitute (-2x + 32) for 4y in the first equation:
3x + (-2x + 32) = 36, or
3x - 2x + 32 = 36. or
x = 4.
If x = 4, then the second equation yields y = (-1/2)(4) + 8, or
y = -2 + 8, or y = 6
Then the solution is (4, 6).
Check, using the first equation:
Does 3(4) + 4(6) = 36? Does 12 + 24 = 36? YES
Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=3x-5
f(-1)=3(-1)-5=-3-5=-8
Answer:
a. 3/4 inches per minute
b. -1 1/8 inches per minute
c. B is fastest; 1 1/8 is more than 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
A <em>change</em> is a <em>difference</em>. A <em>rate of change</em> is <em>one difference divided by another</em>, usually the change in y-value divided by the change in x-value.
__
<h3>a.</h3>
The change in elevation is the difference between the elevation at the end of the period (6 inches) and the elevation at the beginning of the period (3 inches). The change in time period is the difference between the end time (8 min) and the beginning time (4 min).
change in elevation per minute = (6 -3 inches)/(8 -4 min)
= (3 inches)/(4 min) = 3/4 inches/minute
__
<h3>b.</h3>
Similarly, ...
change in elevation per minute = (3 -7 1/2 inches)/(18 -14 min)
= (-4 1/2 inches)/(4 min) = -1 1/8 inches/minute
__
<h3>c.</h3>
We know that 3/4 is more than -1 1/8, but when we talk about the "fastest rate of change", we're generally interested in the magnitude--the value without the sign. That means we understand a rate of change of -1 1/8 inches per minute to be "faster" than a rate of change of 3/4 inches per minute.
The rate of change from Part B is fastest. 1 1/8 inches per minute is more than 3/4 inches per minute.
