What’s the answer to this

These tables represent a quadratic function with a vertex at (0, -1). what is the average rate of change for the interval from x = 9 to x = 10?

Gabriel determined that his total cost would be represented by 2.5x + 2y – 2. his sister states that the expression should be x + x + 0.5x + y + y – 2. who is correct? explain.

1. 2. ∠b and ∠y are right angles. 3.? 4.? which two statements are missing in steps 3 and 4? ∠x ≅ ∠c △abc ~ △zyx by the sas similarity theorem. ∠b ≅ ∠y △abc ~ △zyx by the sas similarity theorem. = 2 △abc ~ △zyx by the sss similarity theorem. = 2 △abc ~ △zyx by the sss similarity theorem.
