Answer:
The rate of change is "-3". Which means the rate at which the tractor uses fuel.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation describes a line and any line follows the equation:
y = m*x + c
Where "m" is the rate of change and "c" is the shift on the line. Comparing the equation for the fuel and the equation from the line, the rate of change must be "-3". The rate of change in this context describes the speed at which the tractor uses fuel, at a rate of 3 gallons per hour.
Answer:
Part A: <u>Which point represents the origin? </u>
- The origin is the point with both zero coordinates: (0, 0)
Part B: <u>Starting from the origin, explain how to plot the following three points accurately (1,-1) (-1.1.25) (-2,3).</u>
Reference point is the origin for below.
- (1,-1) - go <u>right </u>by 1 unit and <u>down </u>by 1 unit, plot the point
- (-1.1.25)- go <u>left </u>by 1 unit and <u>up </u>by 1.25 or 1 and 1/4 units, plot the point
- (-2,3) - go <u>left </u>by 2 units and <u>up</u> by 3 units and plot the point
The answer would be (B), I think but I hope you get this right
