15 + 1; 14 + 2; 13 + 3; 12 + 4; 11 + 5; 10 + 6; 9 + 7; 8 + 8
The average rate of change is the slope.
The slope is equal
, if we were to do that for each set of points, we get the slope is always 8.
Thus the average rate of change is 8.
In lines y=mx+b, for them to be parallel they must have the same slope, m, in the equation of the line...
y=4x+1 and y=-4x+5 not parallel
y=x-2 and y=x-1 these lines are parallel
y=x/4+2 and y=x/2+2 not parallel
y=x/5+1 and y=-x/5+2 not parallel
We have point

, so first calculate

. There will be:

Now, we can write the equation of the normal line as:

Normal line (and every line) crosses x-axis when y = 0, so coordinates of A:
Answer:
so it's just a compare and contrast statement. 225 is less than 300 or 300 is more than 225
