Help with these questions

a) -27, b) 35, c) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

a) When a positive number is multiplied by a negative number, your answer is negative, and since we know that 9 × 3 = 27, and that this figure has to be negative (since 9 is negative), the answer is -27.

b) Multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive number, and since 7 × 5 = 35, the answer is positive 35 (as both 7 and 5 in the original question are negative).

c) Follows just like b.

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
