Me with my homework 7a) and 7b). then 8a). 8b). 8c). 8d).

7a)

-The rate of growth is the slope,  which is 1/2 a foot a year

-We can set up the equation in y=mx+b form, where y is the total height and x is the number of years. m is the rate of growth and b is the height of the plant at 0 years (aka the y-int) which is 4 ft. Substitute in the values into the equation to get y=0.5x+4

7b)

-The rate of speed is the slope, which is 175/4 or 43.75 miles per hour.

-Use the same y=mx+b formula for the equation, where y is the total distance and x is the number of hours. m is the rate of speed, but it will be negative because the slope of the line is negative. The rate of speed is 43.75 miles per hour but the slope will be -43.75. b is the distance from home at 0 hours (the y-int), which is 175 miles.

The equation will be y= -43.75x+175

8a)

-The rate of speed from 0 to 3 hours (the slope) is 50 mph.

8b)

-The rate of speed from 3 to 4 hours was 0 mph because there is no slope and no distance was traveled.

8c)

-The rate of speed from 4 to 9 hours was 60 mph.

8d)

-The average overall rate of speed (total distance divided by total time) is 450 miles divided by 9 hours, which is 50 mph.

answer: a and c are correct

step-by-step explanation:

the +5 is the vertical translation

the added negative symbol in front is the reflection over the y-axis

step-by-step explanation:
