The rate of change of a linear equation (first degree) is equivalent to the slope of a line. Slope is described as the vertical movement (rise) of the line over its horizontal counterpart (run). In determining the rate of change or slope (m) given 1 data point (x',y'), point-slope form is applicable. Point-slope form is: (y-y') = m (x-x'). Substitute the given point (-5,-1) in the equation. By substitution, [y-(-1)] = m [x-(-5)]. Re-arranging the equation, the rate of change or slope is, m = (y+1)/(x+5).
Answer:
a > 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide by the coefficient of the variable. Since it is negative, the direction of the comparison must be reversed.
(-4a)/(-4) > (-32)/(-4)
a > 8
Answer:
Definitely Option A.
When you expand the bracket of Option A... You have your equation
Which is
-1/4x + 1/2.
Hello:
88 = 2(2x)
4x = 88
x=22
