The slope of the line is gonna be 1/3
Suppose you add <em>x</em> oz of 10% alcohol to <em>y</em> oz of pure alcohol. Then the mixture has a total volume of <em>x</em> + <em>y</em> oz, and we want to end up with 16 oz so that
<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 16
For each oz of the solution 10% used, 0.1 oz of alcohol is contributed, and each oz of pure alcohol contributes 1 oz of alcohol. The mixture is supposed to have a concentration of 14%, which comes out to 0.14*16 = 2.24 oz of alcohol. Then
0.1<em> x</em> + 1 <em>y</em> = 2.24
Solve for <em>y</em> in both equations:
<em>y</em> = 16 - <em>x</em>
<em>y</em> = 2.24 - 0.1 <em>x</em>
Set them equal to one another and solve for <em>x</em>, then for <em>y</em>.
16 - <em>x</em> = 2.24 - 0.1 <em>x</em>
13.76 = 0.9 <em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 13.76/0.9 ≈ 15.29
<em>y</em> = 16 - 15.29 ≈ 0.71
So you need about 15.29 oz of 10% alcohol and 0.71 oz of pure alcohol to get the desired mixture.
Answer:
x=10/c
Step-by-step explanation:
3(cx-7)=9
(cx-7)=3
cx=10
x=10/c
The rate of change, or slope, is the change in y over change in x. To find the slope, pick two points. The slope will be the change in y-coordinates over the change in x-coordinates.
As an equation, this is

To find the slope for function 1, pick any two points (x,y) in the table.
Let's choose (-1, 3) and (-2, 5).
The slope is

.
Let's choose (-1, 0) and (0, 4) for the two points for function 2.
The slope is

.
You want to compare the magnitude (without negatives) of the slope when comparing the greater rate of change/slope. In other words, you take the absolute value of each slope.
The magnitude of function 1's slope is 2.
The magnitude of function 2's slope is 4.
