Answer:
Initial Value=15
Rate of change=15/10=1.5
Equation: y=1.5x+15
Step-by-step explanation:
y=ax+b
y=1.5x+b
15=1.5(0)+b
b=15
(See the imagine for reference)
Let’s solve where they have a triangle, so the height is 9 cm, the base is 3 cm:
1/2 • 9 • 3 = 13.5
Since there’s 2 triangles we do:
13.5(2) = 27
Now the rectangle in the middle, where the height is 9cm and the base is 12cm:
12 • 9 = 108
Add up the areas:
108 + 27 = 135
7 + 3.(2 - 3x) = 67
3 brackets are distributed
7+6-9x = 67
13-9x = 67
-9x = 67
x = 67/-9
Answer: (8)(-4.5)
Step-by-step explanation: If you were to multiply -4.5 • -8 it would be a positive number but if you multiply (8)(-4.5) that would equal a negative number
