Answer:
a. 1.5
b. y increases as x increases
c. (0 , 0)
d. (1 , 1.5) and (2 , 3)
Explanation:
The rate of change of this equation would be 1.5, since that is the slope. Slope = rate of change.
It says on the equation that y is 1.5 times as large as x, so that means that if x increases, so does y.
the y intercept is (0,0), since there is only a slope, it is a constant line across the origin, which makes the y intercept (0,0). Y intercept is the value in which x is 0.
Say we wanted to have 1 as our x value. As stated in the equation, y is equal to 1.5 times x (which x is now 1). So that means y is 1.5. Same for 2, as if you multiply 1.5 by 2, it would be 3.
