Answer:
Given that Angelo spends the same amount every day from the amount in
the lunch card, the function of the amount remaining is a linear function.
The constant rate of change of the function is; -5.25
The two ordered pairs used to find the constant rate of change are; (1, 44.75) and (2, 39.5)
Reasons:
The amount Angelo's mother put on the lunch card = $50
A possible table of values to the question is presented as follows;
Required:
The constant rate of the function that gives the amount remaining from the
amount Angelo's mother put on his lunch card.
Solution:
The two ordered pairs that can be used to find the slope or constant rate of change are;
(x₁, y₁) = (1, 44.75), and (x₂, y₂) = (2, 39.5)
With the above two ordered pairs, we have the constant rate of change of the function given as follows;
The constant rate of change for the function that gives the amount remaining in the lunch card is; -5.25
