The slope (m) represents the cost per person.
Answer:
I believe the answer is B
To measure George's rate of change, we first set out two pairs of independent and dependent data which in this case is the day number and the point
Independent Data: Day 2 Independent Data: Day 4
Dependent Data: 8 points Dependant Data: 12 points
Then we find the difference between the two independent values and the two dependent values
4 - 2 = 2
12 - 8 =4
To find the rate we use the following formula
the difference of dependent value ÷ the difference of independent value =
4 ÷ 2 = 2
Hence the average rate of change is an increase of 2 points a day
4 1/3 x 3 x 1 ¼
12 ¾ x 3 x 1 1/4
Your lucky that I just had the question on a test and realized you didn't make it into fractions.
Let's first turn all the words into numbers:
Two and four tenths = 2.4
One and six tenths = 1.6
Four and one tenth = 4.1
Now lets represent "a number" as x.
Then translate the wording into a linear equation:
Simplify and isolate the variable:
Divide by 0.8
x>1.375 or x>1 3/8
