What is the rate of change for this set of ordered pairs ?
x | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
y | 7 | 12 | 17 | 22 | 27
a)2
b)2.5
c) 5
d)4

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change can be found by finding the slope of given ordered pairs.

y₂=12, y₁=7,x₂=1,x₁=0

rate of change = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

rate of change = 12-7/1-0

rate of change = 5/1 = 5

Now considering next two points,

y₂=17, y₁=7,x₂=2,x₁=1

rate of change = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

rate of change = 17-12/2-1

rate of change = 5/1 = 5

So, the rate of change for this set of ordered pairs is 5.

Option C is correct.

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
