HELP ASAP! The number of entertainment websites in 1995 wass 54. By 2004 there were 793 entertainment website.. Approximately, what was the rate of change for the number of the websites for this time period??

How I got that

We have gone from 54 websites to 793 websites. This is a change of 793-54 = 739 new websites. This is over a timespan of 2004-1995 = 9 years.

Since we have 739 new websites over the course of 9 years, this means the rate of change is 739/9 = 82.1111... where the '1's go on forever. Rounding to the nearest whole number gets us roughly 82 websites a year.

You could use the slope formula to get the job done. This is because the slope represents the rise over run

slope = rise/run

The rise is how much the number of websites have gone up or down. The run is the amount of time that has passed by. So slope = rise/run = 739/9 = 82.111...

In a more written out way, the steps would be

slope = rise/run

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

slope = (793 - 54)/(2004 - 1995)

slope = 739/9

slope = 82.111

360 different combinations

the answer is y < -3 or   y > 3

-3y > 7 + 2

-3 y > 9

y < -3
