Look at the graph.

On a coordinate plane, a graph increases through (negative 1, 4), levels off at (0, negative 3), and then increases up through (2, 5).

Leslie analyzed the graph to determine if the function it represents is linear or non-linear. First she found three points on the graph to be (–1, –4), (0, -3), and (2, 5). Next, she determined the rate of change between the points (–1, –4) and (0, -3) to be StartFraction negative 3 minus (negative 4) Over 0 minus (negative 1) EndFraction = StartFraction 1 Over 1 EndFraction = 1. and the rate of change between the points (0, -3) and (2, 5) to be StartFraction 5 minus (negative 3) Over 2 minus 0 EndFraction = StartFraction 8 Over 2 EndFraction = 4. Finally, she concluded that since the rate of change is not constant, the function must be linear.

Why is Leslie wrong?

A. The points (–1, –4), (0, –3), and (2, 5) are not all on the graph.

B. The expressions StartFraction negative 3 minus (negative 4) Over 0 minus (negative 1) EndFraction and StartFraction negative 3 minus (negative 5) Over 2 minus 0 EndFraction both equal 1.

C. She miscalculated the rates of change.

D. Her conclusion is wrong. If the rate of change is not constant, then the function cannot be linear.

Malia is observing the velocity of a cyclist at different times. after two hours, the velocity of the cyclist is 15 km/h. after five hours, the velocity of the cyclist is 12 km/h. part a: write an equation in two variables in the standard form that can be used to describe the velocity of the cyclist at different times. show your work and define the variables used. (5 points) part b: how can you graph the equations obtained in part a for the first 12 hours? (5 points) if you can try and make this as little confusing as you can

Someone answer asap for ! max recorded the heights of 500 male humans. he found that the heights were normally distributed around a mean of 177 centimeters. which statements about max’s data must be true? a. the median of max’s data is 250 b. more than half of the data points max recorded were 177 centimeters. c. a data point chosen at random is as likely to be above the mean as it is to be below the mean. d. every height within three standard deviations of the mean is equally likely to be chosen if a data point is selected at random.
