Answer:
A: Algebraic Function
Step-by-step explanation:
Algebraic function is given as;
5x – 2y = 15
Since we are dealing with rate of change, let's make y the subject first and find dy/dx.
Thus;
2y = 5x - 15
y = (5x/2) - 15/2
dy/dx = 5/2
dy/dx = 2.5
The verbal function is given as;
Cost of 5 pencils is 15 dollars
Thus, rate of 1 pencil = 15/5 = 3 pencils per dollar
We can see that the lowest rate of change is 2.5 and it is the algebraic function.
