I need help with my homework

m = -7

initial value = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is also known as the slope of a line.

To find this do y1-y2/x1-x2 or y2-y1/x2-x1. You can't do rise/run in this case because there is no graph. I will help you with both answers for the first question only, because I think it is better for you to also practice.

The initial value is also when x = 0, therefore the initial value is 27.

The slop is:

27-(-8)/0-5

35/-5

-7

The rate of change, or slope, for the first question is -7.

answer:

3 bags of apples and 2 bags of oranges.

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5
