Need answer desperately
in order for the function to be linear, what must m be and why?

m = 22 because the rate of change is 1.
m = 20 because the rate of change is 3.
m = 22 because the rate of change is –1.
m = 20 because the rate of change is –3.

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line passing through two point, then the slope of the line is

From the given table it is clear that the line passing through the points (4,26), (5,23) and (6,m).

Line passing through (4,26) and (5,23). So, the slope of the line is

The slope of line is -3.

Line passing through (4,26) and (6,m), and the slope of the line is -3.

Multiply both sides by 2.

Add 26 on both the sides.

The value of m is 20 and because the rate of change is –3.

Therefore the correct option is 4.

true

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
