What is the rate of change of the linear function below? *
9x – 2y = -10

The rate of change of the linear function is  .

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate of change for the given function, we have to do some reverse operations. We have to rewrite the equation in the form of y = mx+ b where m is the slope or rate of change of the given function and b is the y - intercept for the given function. Now we have to rewrite the equation as,

9x - 2y = -10

Adding -9x on both sides, we will get,

9x-9x -2y = -10 -9x

On LHS, 9x gets cancelled.

-2y = -9x-10

Then dividing both sides of the equation by -2, we will get,

y =

y =

So the rate of change is .

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i

it has the same slope and a different y-intercept

hope this : )
