Answer:
We conclude that the rule for the table in terms of x and y is:
- y = 3x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
The table indicates that there is constant change in the x and y values, meaning the table represents the linear function the graph of which would be a straight line.
We know the slope-intercept form of the line equation
y = mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Taking two points
- (-2, -4)
- (-1, -1)
Finding the slope between (-2, -4) and (-1, -1)
We know that the y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0 and finding the corresponding y-value.
Taking another point (0, 2) from the table.
It means at x = 0, y = 2.
Thus, the y-intercept b = 2
Using the slope-intercept form of the linear line function
y = mx+b
substituting m = 3 and b = 2
y = 3x+2
Therefore, we conclude that the rule for the table in terms of x and y is:
- y = 3x+2
now, notice, the rate of change for downloading is negative, because, "y" is decreasing, namely the Mbs to be downloaded, are less and less and less as the minutes go by, because the file is almost fully downloaded
so is -4.8
now... at 8minutes, there are 9.6Mbs to download
bear in mind that 9.6 is just 4.8 * 2
that simply means, another minute, another 4.8 Mbs, and another minute and another 4.8 Mbs and the file is done
so, the file downloaded really in 10minutes
now, we know the rate is -4.8 or -24/5, let us nevermind the sign for now
since we know the file is downloading at 24Mbs in 5minutes, a rate of 24/5
how much is it for 10 minutes? well 10 is really just 5 * 2
so if it downloads at a rate of 24Mbs per 5mins, in 10 minutes it downloaded 24*2 or 48Mbs
