Use the linear slope formula to solve for m:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
using the points (-1,1) and (1,5) you can find the slope for the first interval:
m=(5-1)/(1-(-1))
m=4/2
m=2
you can double check by using the same formula on the second interval, which is (1,5) to (3,9).
m=(9-5)/(3-1)
m=4/2
m=2
therefore, the rate of change is 2.




Divide both sides by -2. We know that since 2 is negative, it'll be < (less than) 0. So, the direction of inequality will change.

Divide 26 by -2..we'll get the answer as -13.

Now, subtract 3 from both the sides.

Subtracting -13 by 3..we'll get the answer as -16.

Divide both sides by 2. We know that since 2 is positive, the direction of inequality will remain the same.

Divide -16 by 2..we'll get the answer as -8.

Answer:
334 in^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area = area of the top prism + area of the bottom - 2 * area of the base of the top smaller prism
= 2(5*3 + 5*3 + 3*3) + 2(9*7 + 9*5 + 7*5) - 2* 3*5
= 2* 39 + 2*143 - 30
= 334
So J is jelly beans and T is trail mix :)
so J= $3.50
T= $1.50
