15. The values in the table represent a linear relationship between x and y.
Х
-8.5
-6.5
-2.5
- 1
У
-92
-72
-32
-17
What is the rate of change of y with respect to x?

Respuesta :

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Х  У  

-8.5 -92  

-6.5 -72  

-2.5 -32  

-1 -17  

Run        7.5  (-1-(-8.5)  

Rise  75        (-17 - (-92)  

Slope =   10         (75/7.5)

The rate of change of the y with respect to x will be equal to 10 when there is a linear relationship between x and y.

What is the rate of change?

The Rate of change of x and y can be calculated using the following formula and using any two given pairs of values from the table:

The Rate of change is given by the formula:

[tex]\rm ROC=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Here the value of points are (-8.5,+92) and (-6.5,-72) so from the formula

[tex]\rm ROC=\dfrac{-72+92}{-6.5+8.5}=10[/tex]

Hence the rate of change of the y with respect to x will be equal to 10 when there is a linear relationship between x and y.
