Question

****RATE OF CHANGE ****
http://prntscr.com/7rnwmm

Answer 1

so every time you see rate of change problem, you are looking for a slope-related solution. can you try to solve the problem now based on the hint I gave you?

Answer 2

Well i was already given that hint.
i suppsed to use mx+b
right?

Answer 3

something like it, but you're missing a lot of other information

Answer 4

please tell me what im missing. i really need to get this right

Answer 5

it has to be an equation

Answer 6

yea it is
5x+3y=-2

Answer 7

so how will you convert that into slope-intercept form?

Answer 8

i forgot

Answer 9

\(ax + by = c \)
\(ax - ax + by = c - ax \)
\(\large\frac{by}{b} = \frac{-ax}{b} + \frac{c}{b} \rightarrow y = \frac{-ax + c}{b} \)

Answer 10

it is just a matter of algebraic manipulation that requires you to solve for y

Answer 11

a and b are your coefficients for the x and y respectively and c is the constant

Answer 12

so ummmm............. i get that
but what do i put for the letters

Answer 13

do you know how to solve for y (isolate y) ?

Answer 14

Yes i do

Answer 15

try

Answer 16

okay i know i suppse to solve for y , All i need is the equation?
How do i get the equation

Answer 17

uh when you solve for y, you have an equation in terms of y and that is what you need to be able to identify the "rate of change," which is the slope (coefficient) of x in the equation

Answer 18

SOLVE for y, right now

Answer 19

I do not need a "suppose," I just need you to show me that you can actually solve for y

Answer 20

the equation is 5x+3y=-2
right?

Answer 21

why are you asking me, isn't that the problem you're given?

Answer 22

yes

Answer 23

what makes an equation is the presence of the equal sign

Answer 24

Oh wait i get how to do it!
thanks for everything!!
