Answer:
-6/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change is the same as the slope (I don't know if you have learned that term yet), but basically its the change in y's over the change in x's. to find this out, all you have to do is count from the point on the graph that is the farthest right (in this case, (6,1)), up to the y coordinate of the point farthest to the left (-2, 7) which is 6, and then count the number of spaces between the x coordinates, which is 8. put the rise (up and down count) over the run (horizontal count) in a fraction form, which gives you 6/8, and then notice how the line is pointing towards the bottom RIGHT hand corner making the line negative, so you need to make the rate of change negative, giving you the final answer of -6/8.

Answer:
-5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>-10, -9, -8, -8,</em> -6, -5, <em>-1, 1, 7, 6</em>
Call the two equations above A and B, in order to not confuse them.
A: -2x + 6y = -38
B: 3x - 4y = 32
For this system we have opposites in x and y, so Elimination (or Linear Combination) works best. Either variable works, so let's work with x first and multiply A by 3 and B by 2. This is done so we get opposites in A and B then when added together give zero.
-2x + 6y = -38 ------> multiply by 3 ----> -6x + 18y = -114
3x - 4y = 32 ------> multiply by 2 -----> 6x - 8y = 64
Now we add the new equations. The -6x and 6x are opposites and go away. We are left with
10y = -50. We divide both sides by 10 and get that y = -5.
Now we take y = -5 and put it into an original equation. Let's use A.
-2x + 6y = -38 the original equation A
-2x + 6(-5) = -38 we found y = -5
-2x + (-30) = -38 evaluating and multiplying
-2x - 30 = -38 apply the parentheses
-2x = -8 add 30 to both sides
x = 4 divide on both sides by -2
Thus x = 4 and y = -5, or (4, -5) is the solution.
