Use the linear slope formula to solve for m:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
using the points (-1,1) and (1,5) you can find the slope for the first interval:
m=(5-1)/(1-(-1))
m=4/2
m=2
you can double check by using the same formula on the second interval, which is (1,5) to (3,9).
m=(9-5)/(3-1)
m=4/2
m=2
therefore, the rate of change is 2.
Answer:
15 hip hop performances
12 ballet performances
Step-by-step explanation:
5:4 (multiply by 3)
15:12
X + (4x+15) = 180
5x+15=180
5x=165
x=33
4(33)+15=147. (Or you could subtract 33 from 180)
Check answer: 33+147=180 yes
