1) A negative rate of change is when the slope is a negative number...so, lets look for the slope that is negative.
1. 2x - 5y = -15
-5y = -2x - 15
y = 0.4 + 5
Positive
2. y = -4x + 9
Negative
3. -16 - - 10 / 4 - 2 = m
m = -6/2
m = -3
Negative
4. 11 - 15 / -2 - - 3
-4 / 1 = -4
m = -4
Negative
Done with number one! :P
2) The greatest rate of change would be the steepest line, so lets find that!
From the answer choices, '5' has the largest slope.
Answer: B) y = 5x + 4
3) Now, again, we must find the greatest rate of change.
A) 6 - 3 / 4-3
m = 3/1
m = 3
B) m = 6
C) m = -2
We see that 6 is the greatest.
Answer: B)
4) Greatest start value would be the y intercept.
C has the greatest start value, because it is 2, so that would be the answer.
Answer: c
5) y=16*1 + 560
y=16+560
y=576
x = 1
y = 504
Calories of sugar would be >>>>>>>>>>>>> 576
Calories in honey would be >>>>>>>>>>>>>> 504
