Accepted Answer

### 1.
# Explanation:
## Step1: Calculate the slope $m$
The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Given points $(-4,12)$ and $(12,-16)$, we have $m=\frac{-16 - 12}{12-(-4)}=\frac{-28}{16}=-\frac{7}{4}$.
## Step2: Use the point - slope form $y - y_1=m(x - x_1)$ and convert to slope - intercept form
Using the point $(-4,12)$ and $m =-\frac{7}{4}$, we have $y - 12=-\frac{7}{4}(x + 4)$.
Expand: $y-12=-\frac{7}{4}x-7$.
Add 12 to both sides: $y=-\frac{7}{4}x + 5$.
# Answer:
$y =-\frac{7}{4}x + 5$

### 2.
# Explanation:
## Step1: Find the slope of the perpendicular line
The slope of the line $y=-2x + 4$ is $m_1=-2$. The slope of a line perpendicular to it, $m_2$, satisfies $m_1m_2=-1$. So $-2m_2=-1$, then $m_2=\frac{1}{2}$.
## Step2: Use the point - slope form and convert to slope - intercept form
Using the point $(2,24)$ and $m_2=\frac{1}{2}$, we have $y - 24=\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)$.
Expand: $y-24=\frac{1}{2}x-1$.
Add 24 to both sides: $y=\frac{1}{2}x + 23$.
# Answer:
$y=\frac{1}{2}x + 23$

### 3.
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall the average - velocity formula
The average - velocity formula is $v_{avg}=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta t}=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{t_2 - t_1}$.
Let's assume the time interval is not specified. If we consider the interval from $t = 0$ to $t = 5$, then $y_1 = 0$, $y_2=30$, $t_1 = 0$, $t_2 = 5$.
## Step2: Calculate the average velocity
$v_{avg}=\frac{30 - 0}{5 - 0}=6$ inches per second.
# Answer:
6 inches per second

### 4.
# Explanation:
## Step1: Calculate the average velocity for each interval
For the interval $[0,1]$: $v_1=\frac{1.2 - 0}{1 - 0}=1.2$ inches per second.
For the interval $[1,2]$: $v_2=\frac{4.8 - 1.2}{2 - 1}=3.6$ inches per second.
For the interval $[2,3]$: $v_3=\frac{10.8 - 4.8}{3 - 2}=6$ inches per second.
For the interval $[3,4]$: $v_4=\frac{19.2 - 10.8}{4 - 3}=8.4$ inches per second.
For the interval $[4,5]$: $v_5=\frac{30 - 19.2}{5 - 4}=10.8$ inches per second.
## Step2: Compare the average velocities
We can see that the ball is traveling fastest in the interval $[4,5]$.
# Answer:
The interval $[4,5]$

### 5.
# Explanation:
## Step1: Observe the pattern of the data
We notice that the distances $y$ seem to follow the quadratic relationship $y = 0.6t^{2}$ (since when $t = 1$, $y=0.6	imes1^{2}=0.6$; when $t = 2$, $y=0.6	imes2^{2}=2.4$; when $t = 3$, $y=0.6	imes3^{2}=5.4$; when $t = 4$, $y=0.6	imes4^{2}=9.6$; when $t = 5$, $y=0.6	imes5^{2}=15$). In fact, the correct relationship is $y = 0.6t^{2}$.
## Step2: Predict the distance at $t = 6$
When $t = 6$, $y=0.6	imes6^{2}=21.6$ inches.
# Answer:
21.6 inches

### 6 - 8 are not fully solvable without the actual graph details. But the general approach for 6:
We can look at the characteristics of the lines such as slope (steeper line has a larger absolute - value of slope), intercepts, and trends over time to identify which line represents the minimum salary and which represents the average salary. For 7 and 8, we would look for the points on the graph corresponding to the years 1990 and 1995 respectively, which might be identified by changes in the slope or level of the lines due to the described events (era of competitive spending and strike).
