This would be easy if you made more sense out of the question.
Answer:
The rate of change or slope m = -50
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of the line equation

where
- m is the rate of change or slope
Given that there is $500 in Holly's bank account.
Thus, the y-intercept b = 500
It is stated that she takes out $50 from her account each month but doesn't put money back in.
It means the rate of change or slope is decreasing.
Thus, the rate of change or slope m = -50
<u>EXTRA BONUS!</u>
We can also determine the line equation by substituting m = -50 and b = 500 in the slope-intercept form

y = -50x + 500
Here:
The slope m = -50
The y-intercept = 500
The correct answer above would be C.
For question 1, the largest value would be 1 and the smallest value would be -1. A, B, and C are either all 1 or two is negative and one is positive, either way the number is 1 and it's opposite. 1^2 is 1, 1^3 is 1, 1^4 is 1. The product is 1. -1^2 is -1, -1^3 is -1, -1^4 is -1. The product is -1. Now the difference. 1 - (-1), which is 1 + 1, the answer is [D) 2]
