The following are the results of the calculations

1) -8

2) 8

3) 3

4) -4

5) -3

6) -4

7) 27

8) r = -4s + 23

How to interpret linear relationship between two variables.

From the given information

1) If ∆s = 2, then

∆r = 11-19 = -8

2) If ∆s = -2, then

∆r = 19 - 11 = 8

3) If s = 5, then r

s increases by 2 units why r decreases by 8 units

s = 3 + ∆s

= 3 + 2

= 5

Also when s = 5

r = 11 + ∆r

= 11 + (-8)

= 11 - 8

= 3

4) If ∆s =1

It means the rate is divided by 2

So, ∆r = -8/2

= -4

5) If ∆s = 7 , it means that the rate is increased by a factor of 5

∆r = -8 + 5

= -3

6) The constant rate of change of r with s equals

∆r/∆s = slope

-8/2 = -4

This means, as s increases by unit of 1 r decreases by the absolute value |4|.

7) If s = 0,

r = 19 -(-8)

= 19+8

= 27

8) Slope = -4

using equation of line

r = m(s) + b

At point (11,3)

r-11 = -4(s -3)

r = -4s +12 +11

r = -4s + 23.
