The value is 5, the steps above are correct
Answer: it is -1
Step-by-step explanation: rate of change can be defined as Δy/Δx, or the change in y over the change in c (commonly referred to as rise over run). By looking at the numbers we can see that the relationship modeled is linear (has a constant rate of change), so we are able to use this formula to calculate its rate of change. Simply calculate the change between any two values of y and (the associated) values of x and divide them to obtain your solution. I’m not the best at explaining math in words so here is the solution represented symbolically:
Rate of change = Δy/Δx
Δy/Δx = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (1 - (-2))/(2 - 5) //the selected values for y2,y1,x2, and x1 are the last and first values for each, respectively.
3/-3 = -1
A. Area of ABCD - Area of DGA = Area of DEFG
s^2 - 1/2bh = s^2
(5)^2 - 1/2(4)(3) = (3)^2
25 - 1/2(12) = 9
25 - 24 = 9
1 not equal to 9
B. Area of ABCD - Area of GHIA = Area of DGA
s^2 - s^2 = 1/2bh
(5)^2 - (4)^2 = 1/2(4)(3)
25 - 16 = 1/2(12)
9 not equal to 6
C. Area of ABCD + Area of DGA = Area of GHIA
s^2 + 1/2bh = s^2
(5)^2 + 1/2(4)(3) = (4)^2
25 + 1/2(12) = 16
25 + 6 = 16
31 not equal to 16
D. Area of DEFG + Area of GHIA = Area of ABCD
s^2 + s^2 = s^2
(3)^2 + (4)^2 = (5)^2
9 + 16 = 25
25 = 25
The answer is D.
