For this case, the first thing to do is to graph the following ordered pairs:
(-6, -1)
(-3, 2)
(-1,4)
(2,7)
We observe that the graph is a linear function with the following equation:
y = x + 5
Note: see attached image.
Answer:
The function that best represents the ordered pairs is:
y = x + 5
To compare these numbers, you must first put them into one format. Since you have mixed numbers, you may have to find and use the LCD.
-2.5, 1/5, 10, -12/4, 18/5, 10 could be simplified somewhat immediately:
-2.5, 1/5, 10, -3, (3 3/5) This set of numbers is simple enough so that you could rearrange them in ascending order mentally:
-3, -2.5, 1/5, (3 3/5), 10
In this case the number of elements in this set is odd, so all you have to do is to select the MIDDLE element: 1/5.
The median is 1/5.
You MUST learn this procedure (arranging the set elements in ascending order and selecting the middle element) so that you can apply it yourself.
Answer:
5x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Each term in the parenthesis is multiplied by the 5 outside, that is
(5 × x) + (5 × 2) = 5x + 10
