Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
to find a slope you subtract the y value of the 2nd point from the y value of the 1st point then you devide that by the difference of the x value of the 2nd point subtracted from the x value of the 1st point. so 5-3 devided by -3-4, 5-3=2, -3-4=-7. so m = 2/-7 is your slope. the slope is usually represented with the letter m.
Without seeing the graph, it's impossible to tell. The same can be said if we don't know the function rule. However, we can rule out three non-answers.
Choice B is false because the interval [1,3] has f(x) below zero but the rest of the interval to the right of x = 3 has f(x) not below zero.
Choice C is false. The value x = -1 leads to f(x) = 0 which is not greater than 0
Choice D is false because the values 8 and 4 are positive
After eliminating B, C, & D, we are left with choice A as the answer.
Let A(4,12) and B(6,18)
RATE OF CHANGE = m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) = (18-12)/ (6-4)
m= 6/2 or m = 3
