OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey need help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah ok I was going to leave lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so actually there's something wrong with your question what does it say before "as a reduced ratio" and "as the phrase" all I see are question marks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i messed up they want the rate of change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so the same problem. Alrighty this should be quick then. So the rate from what to what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well for y idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I mean for the entire range? Is that what they are asking?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like from x =-2 to x =1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah ok so do you remember what you must do right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do the formula and subtract

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the formula subtracts but correct so what are subtracting first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mm idk whatds the y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here let me write the equation: \[rate = \frac{ y_{2}-y _{1} }{ x_{2}-x _{1} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh well we are going from x = -2 to x = 1 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mhmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we are going from y = what to y = what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when x = -2, y is what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no? isn't it 5 according to the table you provided me with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh the table yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so can you get the rate now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1 get 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 get 23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes? I am bit puzzled as to what you are getting at?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well we going to subtract 5 from 23 and -2 from1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what do you do next after you have subtracted them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get 18/ 3 and reduce 6/1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes exactly! Is everything clear?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha yes i understand completely now thank you so much :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem! Hopefully I can help you another time, I'm going to bed night!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
