Give an example of a linear situation with a rate of a change that is

i. positive ii. zero(no change) iii. negative

write an equation that represents each situation in the part above.

I don't get this so please help!
Thank you!

fine! don't help

REALLY MAN....REALLY????

That's LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

answer the damn question

Sure! I'll help you understand and give examples of linear situations with different rates of change.

A linear situation refers to a situation where there is a constant rate of change between two variables. In this case, we'll consider a linear relationship between two variables, x and y.

i. Positive Rate of Change:
Let's say we have a situation where the value of y increases as x increases. For example, suppose you are driving a car and the distance traveled (y) increases by 50 meters for every 1 second (x) that passes. In this case, the rate of change is positive because y increases as x increases.

The equation representing this situation would be:
y = 50x

ii. Zero (No Change) Rate of Change:
Now, let's consider a situation where there is no change in y regarding the change in x. For instance, imagine you are standing still, and the distance (y) you move remains the same regardless of the time (x) that passes. In this case, the rate of change is zero because y does not change as x changes.

The equation representing this situation would be:
y = c
where c is a constant value.

iii. Negative Rate of Change:
Lastly, let's consider a situation where the value of y decreases as x increases. For example, suppose you are pouring water from a container, and the water level (y) decreases by 0.5 cm for every one minute (x) that passes. In this case, the rate of change is negative because y decreases as x increases.

The equation representing this situation would be:
y = -0.5x

Remember, these examples represent linear situations with different rates of change. The equation y = mx + b represents a general linear relationship, where m is the slope (rate of change) and b is the y-intercept (the y-value at x=0, where the line crosses the y-axis).
