First question:
1. Set equations equal to each other so 5x-9=2x+6
2. Put x's on one side so that 3x=15
3. Divide by 3 so that x=15
4. Substitute 15 in for x so that y=2(15)+6
5. Solve for y so that y=36
6. Thus the equations intersect at (15,36)
Second question:
1. Since for lines y=mx+b, and m=slope=3 you only need to write an equation with slope 3
2. y=3x+b, b can be any number
Answer:
There are 77 more third graders than second graders.
Step-by-step explanation:
415-338=x
x=77
Answer:
Rate of change = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
y − 3 = −12(x + 4)
Expanding, we have;
y - 3 = -12x - 48
y = -12x - 48 + 3
y = -12x - 45
Now, formula for rate of change is;
Rate of change = (y(x + h) - y)/h
y(x + h) is; y = -12(x + h) - 45
This gives;
Rate of change = (-12(x + h) - 45 + 12x + 45)/h
Rate of change = (-12x - 12h - 45 + 12x + 45)/h
Rate of change = -12h/h
Rate of change = -12
