I would answer the problem but first upload the diagram
Answer:
not enough information
Step-by-step explanation:
Dividing altitude by hours, we find the ratios to be 400/2 = 200 ft/h and 700/6 = 116 2/3 ft/h.
These are not the same ratio, so altitude is not proportional to time.
___
However, that's not what the question asks. It ask about rate of change. We only have enough information to determine the rate of change between hour 2 and hour 6 is 300 ft in 4 hours, or 75 ft/hour. Since we don't have any other rate of change information, we cannot determine if the rate of change is proportional to anything.

<em>Comment on the question</em>
We suspect the question is simply worded poorly, and that we're supposed to determine if altitude is proportional to hours. (It is not). If that is actually the question, "rate of change" needs to be left out of the question.
If the equation is passing trough the origin, it will be passing trough the point (0,0). We now for our problem that the equations is also passing trough the point (-4,3). So, our line is passing trough the points (0,0) and (-4,3). To write the equation in slope-intercept form, first, we need to find its slope . To do that we are going to use the slope formula: .
From our two points we can infer that , , , . Lets replace those values in the slope formula:
Now that we have our slope, we can use the slope-intercept formula:
We can conclude that the equation of the line passing trough the points (0,0) and (-4,3) is .
Answer:
$15
Step-by-step explanation:
The original price of the mirror is unknown, so let's call it x.
The discount on the original price is a 20% discount, so it is 20% of x, or 0.2x.
We are told the discount is $3, so 0.2x = 3. Now we solve the equation for x.
0.2x = 3
Divide both sides by 0.2.
x = 3/0.2
x = 15
The regular price is $15.
The machine makes 95 boxes an hour. Hope this helps
