Answer:

Explanation:

No, the rate with the greater positive rate of change will not necessarily reach the output with the smallest input. The initial value will also affect the outcome. Although Amy is biking at a faster rate of change, Jeremy might get to school before her if his aunt lives closer to the school than her father does.

Explanation: Edge. said so.

Answer:

No, more information is needed to prove that Amy will get to school first.

Explanation:

Even though Amy is traveling at a faster rate than Jeremy, the problem does not say how far away Amy's father's or Jeremy's aunt's houses are from the school.
