Question

****- Find the rate of change between the two points: (6, 8) and (5, 6) where x is in days and y is in pounds.

Answer 1

This is kinda like saying what is the slope of the line created by the two points.
Recall slope formula:
\[\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1} = \frac{rise}{run}\]

Answer 2

So 6^2-6^1 over 8^2-5^1 ?

Answer 3

No, not 6 squared.
I'm just distinguishing which points you should use.
The difference between the 2 y-values divided by the difference between the 2 x-values.

Answer 4

oh okay!

Answer 5

What did you get? What math did you do?

Answer 6

im in geometry

Answer 7

You should know slope formula from Algebra 1 lol.

Answer 8

\[\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1} = \frac{8-6}{6-5} \frac{pounds}{day}\]
