Using two points to find the slope use
y2-y1/x2-x1
i chose points (0,4) and (2,14)
14-4/2-0
10/2
5
The slope is 5
Okie doke. 1cm on the map equals 500 meters. The distance from the gate to the ferris wheel on the map is 2.5cm. To find the actual distance, multiply the length on the map by the distance per centimeter. 500 * 2.5 is 1,250. The actual distance is 1,250 meters.
Note: When it comes to problems like these, you must always multiply the distance on the map by the scale unit (in other words, the actual distance on how far it is per the smaller unit).
400$
Explanation:
In 1992, the price is 28000$ and 9600$ in 1996 so in 4 years the value the car lost is 18400$
Dividing 18400 by 4 years we get 4600 depreciation value per year.
Between 1996 and 1998 there is 2 years
So in 1998 the value of the car will be:
9600 (value in 1996) - 2x4600 = 400$
Y=-x^2 is non linear due to the x being squared
