If the price of a gallon of gas was $0.89 in 1984 and was $3.59 in 2014, what was the average rate of change in the price per gallon of gas?

0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

avg rate of change is:  change in y/ change in x

so it´d be   3.59 - 0.89 / 2014 - 1984

= 2.7/ 30

= 0.09

note:

The slope formula and the average rate of change formula are the same, just written a bit different, so you could also use:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true ⇒ answer a

step-by-step explanation:

* lets study the graph and the inequality to solve the question

- the inequality y > -x - 2

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = -2 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -2)

∵ the sign of the inequality is >

∴ we shad the part over the line

  region a and b

- the inequality y < 2x + 1

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = 1 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 1)

∵ the sign of the inequality is <

∴ we shad the part under the line

  region b and c

∵ the common region between the two lines is region b

∴ region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true
