If the rate of change for one linear function is positive and for another is negative can they both be either increasing or decreasing?

They can never be both either increasing or decreasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the rate of change i.e. the slope of one linear function is positive, that means the graph of the linear function makes angle which varies between 0° to 90° with respect to the positive direction of the x-axis.

Therefore, the function must be increasing.

Again, if the rate of change i.e. the slope of one linear function is negative, that means the graph of the linear function makes angle which varies between 90° to 180° with respect to the positive direction of the x-axis.

Therefore, the function must be decreasing.

Hence, if the rate of change of one linear function is positive and for another is negative, they can never be both either increasing or decreasing. (Answer)

8

step-by-step explanation:

to find the amount of gift bags to use all the supplies, find the gcf or greatest common factor. this is the largest number which multiplies evenly into each term.

48 has factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12. 16, 24, 48

80 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80

64 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 8, 16, 32, 64

the highest number factor they all share in common is 8. this means there will be 8 bags with 6 pencils, 10 markers, and 8 stickers in each bag.

13

step-by-step explanation:

divide the cost of the total of sodas you bought by the cost of one soda, for example:

$24.57 divided by $1.89 is 13 which means you bought 13 sodas
