What is the equation in standard form of the line which passes through (−2, 6) and has a slope of −1?

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Find the slope intercept form first.

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

y=-1x+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i jus now found the answer but an you help me with another question

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Okay :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the average rate of change for the given function from x = 2 to x = 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what im suppose to use

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Do you have the function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no thats all it gives me

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Never mind I don't need it...

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Do you know what a rate of change is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Watch this video and it might help: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AanhgTnasa0

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

The rate of change is 2

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

The change in y divided by the change in x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh so how would i start it

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Do This: y2-y1 divided by x2-x1

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

y1=0 y2=4 x1=2 x2=4

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

4-0 divided by 4-2 = 4/2 or 2/1 or 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are my answer choices −2 one-half negative one half 2

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Yes, the answer is 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay can you help me with another question ill give you a medal

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Sure, no problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Jack and Jill had 3 pails of water. Each trip up the hill, Jack and Jill obtained 3 more buckets of water. Which of the graphs below represents Jack and Jill's number of pails over time?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@PinkSapphire

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Yes, the last graph is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you tell me how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you help me out with aother question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Given f(x) = the quantity of 5x plus 1, divided by 2 solve for f-1(8).

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Is this the equation? f(x)=5x+1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i have to solve for f^-1 (8)

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

I don't get what it's asking...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Given f(x) = the quantity of 5x plus 1, divided by 2 solve for f-1(8). 3 7 10 20

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

I'm not sure if I ever learned this...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay but 1 more question

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Okay...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the average rate of change for the given function from x = −3 to x = 1.

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

First you look at the graph and go to x=-3 and go up until you touch the line.

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

And that would be your y value.

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

So now you have (-3,1) to (1,5).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 1

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

|dw:1398385143295:dw|

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

You're still not done...On the table look for the rate of change.

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

It's 4/4 but you can simplify it to 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theres 4 whichi think would make a 8 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so 4/4 is 1 so thats my answer right

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Yes, this is your rate of change.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The attachment is the answer to the original posted problem.

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

I don't know how to define the rate of change for you so you should look it up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will but thank you sooo much

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

No problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and @robtobey thank you cuhz i picked the opposite of it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@robtobey i need help with this question can you help me Given f(x) = the quantity of 5x plus 1, divided by 2 solve for f-1(8).

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Wait, for the last question I did something wrong...

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Wait never mind...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait what are you talking about :(

OpenStudy (pinksapphire):

Sorry I thought I did something wrong on the last question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okay
