@Luis_Rivera HELP or @amistre64 ? Can you help?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the rate of change of a linear function is just its slope

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(t+h)-f(t)}{h}\] \[\lim_{h\to0}\frac{(-9-5(t+h))-(-9-5(t))}{h}\] \[\lim_{h\to0}\frac{-9-5t-5h+9+5t}{h}\] \[\lim_{h\to0}\frac{-5h}{h}=-5\] at t=5, the rate of change is constantly -5

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lol, and even at t=4 the rate is a constant -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats the velocity?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it is moving "backwards" at 5units per time
