In a question like this, you want to approach it with the equation "slope intercept form" which is

b = y-intercept
- the point where the line intercepts the y-axis
m = slope
I suggest using Desmos Graphing Calculator, it really helps and shows you a graphed equation. Let me know what you get!
Answer:
Answers in explanations, hope they're correct!
Step-by-step explanation:
12. You will be using 0 gallons of gas when traveling 0 miles.
13. 20 gallons
14. (2,6)
15. You will package 15 dozens of cupcakes after 5 hours
The function represents a linear relation so I assume the answer is B neither
M=3/4. Slope=m and up 3 to the right four
Answer:
(Change in y)/(change in x) is defined as the average rate of change.
For a linear equation:
y = a*x + b
A is the average rate of change, and is called the "slope" of the linear equation, and this is a constant.
Then the sentence will be:
"The average change between two ordered pairs (x,y) is the ratio (change in x)/(change in y)
In a linear function, this is called the slope, and it is constant"
