Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean first thought that his hand was 20 cm so:

20cm

When he measures with a ruler, he gets 18 cm so:

18cm

The equation is really simple, and you basically do:

20/20 - 18/20 = 2/20 = 1/10 = 10%

The equation is:

1- x/y

x equals the new number

y equals the original number

Hi. You have to do trial and error with each of the choices to see which of those apply. They are points on the given function y=22x+32 that lie on point (x,y). Just substitute the x-and y values to the function.

a. (10,480) => x = 10, y = 480
     y = 480 = 22(10) + 32
     480 = 252 (does not apply)

b. (5,142) => x = 5, y = 142
     y = 142= 22(5) + 32
     142 = 142 (apply)

c. (8,208) => x = 8, y = 208
     y = 208 = 22(8) + 32
     208 = 208 (apply)

d. (7,154) => x = 7, y = 154
     y = 154 = 22(7) + 32
     154 = 186 (does not apply)

The answer is B and C.

For the function y=400-22x, what is the rate of change
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

-22

Step-by-step explanation:

The function y=400-22x is a linear equation in the form y=mx + b. Although they put "mx" after "b" so the equation doesn't start with a negative.

"m" is rate of change, or the slope if graphed.

The negative means "y" decreases as "x" increases. On a graph, it decreases left to right.
