Answer:

Rate of change = -0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(-3, 3.6) and (5, 2)

Required:

Rate of change

Solution:

Formula for rate of change = change in y/change in x = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Let,

(-3, 3.6) = (x_1, y_1)

(5, 2) = (x_2, y_2)

Plug in the values into the equation:

Rate of change = $\frac{2 - 3.6}{5 -(-3)}$

Rate of change = $\frac{-1.6}{8}$ = -0.2

Is y=3x+4 a function?

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Yes, it is a function

Step-by-step explanation:

Every possible input x value is paired with a unique output y value.

Another approach is to graph the function then conduct the VLT (vertical line test) at which point you will realize that any vertical line will intersect the graph at one point only meaning it is a function.

Hope this helps.
