Answer:
A. y = -1/4x + 1 1/2
B. The rate of change is losing/decreasing -1/4 (y axis unit) per (x axis unit)
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Your equation is 2x + 8y = 12
so solve this for y like any other other question. Start by subtracting 2x from both sides: 8y = -2x + 12
then divide both sides by 8 to isolate y: y = -2/8x + 12/8
simplify your equation: y = -1/4x + 3/2
turn 3/2 into a mixed fraction: y = -1/4x + 1 1/2
B. The rate of change is the same thing as the slope but you say it with units. I cant see a scenario but you can say something like:
The rate of change is losing/decreasing -1/4 (y axis unit) per (x axis unit)
