Given:

Temperature in the morning = -2 degrees.

Temperature is dropping at a constant rate.

Temperature after 4 hours = -22 degrees.

To find:

The rate of change of temperature.

Solution:

Let y be the temperature after x hours from the morning.

Temperature in the morning is -2 degrees. It means, the ordered pair is (0,-2).

4 hours later the temperature is now -22 degrees. It means, the ordered pair is (4,-22).

Now, formula for average rate of change or slope is

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

m=\dfrac{-22-(-2)}{4-0}

m=\dfrac{-22+2}{4}

m=\dfrac{-20}{4}

m=-5

Therefore, the change in temperature is -5 per hour. It means the permutate is decreasing by 5 degrees per hour.

Answer:

Answer:

4/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 1/6 is 4/24 simplified.

To prove this, all you have to do is try simplifying 4/24 yourself. To do that, we are going to use 4 to divide both the numerator and the denominator because 4 is a common factor of 4 and 24.

(To simplify a fraction, you divide both the numerator and denominator by a common factor)

So 4 divided by 4 is 1, and 24 divided by 4 is 6

1/6

99% sure im right ;)

2n + 3 = -3.2 what is the answer to n
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:n=-3.1

Step-by-step explanation:

2n + 3 = -3.2

Subtract 3 on both sides

2n+3-3=-3.2-3

2n=-6.2

Divide 2 on both sides

2n/2=-6.2/2

n=-3.1
