F(-1) = -(-1) - 2 f(2) = -(2) - 2 f(4) = -(4) - 2
f(-1) = 1 - 2 f(2) = -2 - 2 f(4) = -4 - 2
f(-1) = -1 f(2) = -4 f(4) = -6
Time it took Hector to complete 18 miles is given by 18 / 12 = 1.5 hours.
Let the time when Wanda will catch up to Hector be t, then, the distance covered by Hector at the time they meet is 18 + 12t and the distance covered by Wanda at the time they meet is 16t.
Then, 18 + 12t = 16t
16t - 12t = 18
4t = 18
t = 18 / 4 = 4.5
Therefore, Wanda will catch up with Hector after 4.5 hours.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of students (32) corresponds to the total number of ratio units (3+5 = 8), so each ratio unit represents 32/8 = 4 students.
The 3 ratio units representing boys will stand for 3×4 = 12 boys.
The 5 ratio units representing girls will stand for 5×4 = 20 girls.
There are 12 boys and 20 girls in Janice's classroom.

<em>Additional comment</em>
I find the above solution to be the easiest.
You can also write a system of equations. Let b and g represent the numbers of boys and girls, respectively.
b/g = 3/5
b +g = 32
Multiplying the first equation by g gives an expression for b that can be substituted into the second equation:
b = (3/5)g
(3/5)g +g = 32
8/5g = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
g = (5/8)(32) = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . . multiply by 5/8
b = (3/5)(20) = 3·4 = 12 . . . . . . . find b using the value of g
Answer: The average rate of change is 1 over 3, or just 1/3. The y-values change 1 unit every time the x-values change 3 units, on this interval! hope this helps
