Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1)=4^1 - 1 = 3

f(4) = 4^4 - 1 = 255

rate of change = $\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}$

(255 - 3) / (4 - 1) = 252 / 3 = 84

Finding the slope using two points:

The formula for slope is

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

In this case...

(1, 9) and (-3, 16)

$y_{2} =16\\y_{1} =9\\x_{2} =-3\\x_{1} =1$

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

$\frac{16-9}{-3 -1}$

$\frac{7}{-4}$

C. $\frac{-7}{4}$

^^^This is your slope

Hope this helped!

Answer:

yes, it is a right triangle and ∡Q is the right angle

Step-by-step explanation:

if the slope of QR is the opposite reciprocal of QS then the two segments are perpendicular and form a 90° angle

slope of QR: -3 - (-1) ÷ 2 - 0 = -2 ÷ 2 = -1

slope of QS: -3 - (-1) ÷ 2 - 4 = -2 ÷ -2 = 1

-1 and 1 are opposite and reciprocal so m∡Q = 90°

Find if all the ratios are proportional to 1:8. 2:16 is, so is 3:24, and 4:32. 4.5*8=36, and 5:40 is proportional. 6:48 is, and 6.5*8=52. The table is proportional, just divide the pay by the hours and you should be getting 8.
