A
evaluate f(5) and f(2)
f(5) = 5m + b and f(2) = 2m + b, hence
f(5) - f(2) = 5m + b - 2m - b = 3m
the expression simplifies to
= 2 ( cross- multiply )
3m = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )
m = 2 → A
1. Slope = rate of change
Shown on the graph, for 2016 there are 36 entries. For 2017, there are 40
Since it’s only one year
You can subtract 36 from 40
40 - 36 = 4
Solution: the slope is 4
2. Months increase the most, the lines which are steeper and going upward (since it’s increasing)
Solution: from 2015 to 2016
Apologies for the bad handwriting.
Honestly photo math works for everything
