Answer:

Function A has a rate of change of -5 and Function B has a rate of change of -4.5, so Function B has a greater rate of

Step-by-step explanation:

Function A:

\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {1.5} & {2.5} & {3.5} & {4.5} & {5.5} \ \\ y & {5} & {0} & {-5} & {-10} & {-15} \ \end{array}

Function B:

y = -4.5x + 15

Required

Which has a greater rate of change

The rate of change of function A is calculated as thus:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Where:

(x_1,y_1) = (1.5,5)

(x_2,y_2) = (2.5,0)

So, we have:

m = \frac{0-5}{2.5 - 1.5}

m = \frac{-5}{1}

m = -5

For function B

The general function is:

y = mx + b

Where

m is the rate of change

By comparing y = mx + b to y = -4.5x + 15

m = -4.5

So, we have that:

Function A has a rate of -5; function B has a rate of -4.5.

By comparison: -4.5 is greater than 5

Hence, function B has a greater rate.

White raven [17]

Answer:

20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale is 3 inches is to 2 feet

As a ratio, it would be:

\dfrac{3}{2}

The question is what is the actual length of the stage if the drawing is 30 inches. All we need to do is find a ratio proportional to the scale ratio:

\dfrac{3inches}{2feet} = \dfrac{30inches}{xfeet}

Now to find the missing number, cross multiply the fractions first:

\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{30}{x}

(3)(x)=(2)(30)

3x=60

Then solve for x:

3x=60

x=\dfrac{60}{3}

x=20

The answer is 20 feet

Obasi earns 150%, percent of his regular hourly wage while working overtime. What fraction of his regular hourly wage does Obasi
hammer [34]

Obasi earns 150% of his regular hourly wage while working overtime.

Let us convert percentage into fraction first:

To convert a percentage into fraction we need to use the following formula:

a%=\frac{a}{100}

Here, he earns 150% of his hourly wage while working overtime:

So,

150%==\frac{150}{100} =\frac{3}{2} =1.5

Obasi earns \frac{3}{2} of his hourly earnings or 1.5 times of his hourly earnings while working overtime.
