Answer:
k=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Line partition formula
1/b(x2-x1)+x1, 1/b(y2-y1)+y1
Where b is the number partitions.
We know the x values so Subsitue 17 for x2 and 2 for x1. and we know this value must equal 7.
1/b(17-2)+2=7
1/b(15)=5
1/b=1/3
b=3
so the partition is 1/3
So let find the y coordinate
So our y coordinate is 6.
The highest rate on increasing is of 12x -6y = -24; Option B is the correct answer.
The options are given in the image attached with the answer
<h3>What is a Function ?</h3>A function is a law that relates a dependent variable and an independent variable.
It is asked among the options given , which is increasing at the highest rate.
To increase at a rate , the value of the slope , m should be > 0
For the Option 1
for a straight line function , the slope is given by
m = ( y₂ -y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
m = ( -3 -3)/(2- (-1)) = -6 /3 = -2
Therefore the function is decreasing
For Option 2
12x - 6y = -24
-6y = -12x -24
y = 2x +4
m = 2 (increasing)
For option 3
m = (-4 + 5)/(2-1) = 1
For Option 4
(8,0) (0,-4)
m = (-4 -0) /(0-8) = 4/8 = 1/2
The highest rate on increasing is of 12x -6y = -24
Therefore Option B is the correct answer.
