Which functions have a positive rate of change and which have a negative rate of change? column a column b 1. 2x − 5y = −15 2. y = −4x 9 3. x y 2 –10 4 –16 6 –22 4. x y –3 15 –2 11 –1 7 a. positive b. negative

Number 1 is a positive change
Number 2 is a negative change. So is the rest. I took this assessment today while at the k12 school and these are the right answers. Hopes this helps!

< xcy ≅ < xby

step-by-step explanation:

in δcax and δbax,

ac ≅ ab (given)< cax ≅ < bax   (given)ax ≅ ax (common side)

so, δcax ≅ δbax (side-angle-side or sas)

since δcax ≅ δbax, we can conclude < acx ≅ < abx

in δacy and δaby,

ac ≅ ab (given)< cay ≅ < bay (since < cax ≅ < bax is given and xy is the extension of line ax)ay ≅ ay (common side)

so, δacy ≅ δaby (side-angle-side or sas)

since δacy ≅ δaby, we can conclude < acy ≅ < aby

now,

< acy ≅ < aby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < abx + < xby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < acx + < xby   (since < acx ≅ < abx already proved above)

subtracting < acx from both sides, we get

< acx + < xcy -< acx ≅ < acx + < xby -< acx

cancelling out < acx and -< acx from both sides, we get

< xcy ≅ < xby (proved)
