Answer:
Rate of change = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
y − 3 = −12(x + 4)
Expanding, we have;
y - 3 = -12x - 48
y = -12x - 48 + 3
y = -12x - 45
Now, formula for rate of change is;
Rate of change = (y(x + h) - y)/h
y(x + h) is; y = -12(x + h) - 45
This gives;
Rate of change = (-12(x + h) - 45 + 12x + 45)/h
Rate of change = (-12x - 12h - 45 + 12x + 45)/h
Rate of change = -12h/h
Rate of change = -12

where
n

is the degree of the numerator and
m

is the degree of the denominator.
1. If
n
<

n
<
m
, then the x-axis,
y
=

, is the horizontal asymptote.
2. If

3. If

There is no oblique asymptote because the degree of the numerator is less than or equal to the degree of the denominator.

Answer:
A, y + 3 = 2(x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Point slope form is y -y1 = m(x - x1)
To find the equation for this line, plug in y1, m, and x into the equation.
m = 2
y1 = -3
x1 = -2
y - -3 = 2(x - -2)
Since subtracting a negative changes the sign to a positive, the equation becomes:
y + 3 = 2(x + 2)
This is option A.
