HELP PLEASE I GIVE METALS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The table below represents the volume of a liquid sample as a function of its temperature: Temp (C) Volume (ml) x f(x) 11 95 16 100 21 105 26 110 The average rate of change of f(x) between x=11 to x=21 is _____ ml per C ((degrees)) and represents the rate of change of volume per degree rise in temperature I keep getting 5 but im not sure please help :(

@ganeshie8

Nnesha (nnesha):

do you know what they mean by rate of change ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

Nnesha (nnesha):

rate of change mean "slope" :)

Nnesha (nnesha):

11 95 21 105 use these two points to find rate of change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha i got -1.27

Nnesha (nnesha):

which formula you used

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y2-y1/x2-x1

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes so |dw:1416157797301:dw| now solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=(95-105)/(11-21)=(-10/-10)=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 1 so is 1 the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes that is your answer

Nnesha (nnesha):

but remember formula is \[m = y _{2} - y _{1} / x _{2} - x _{1}\] so always you have to plug y2 value first
