Still need help on this?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

It's been 20 minutes but I can help if you reply.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Give me a sec.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

That's cut off isn't it.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Alright, I think you will get it by words. Literally make a table for the x and y values.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Make a fraction, of the difference of the greatest and smallest y value on top, and the difference of the greatest and smallest x value on the bottom. In this case it's 20/4=5 (rate of change)<<<

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Simple enough?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Sure

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Is this like a slope rate of change?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Bunch of fractions on this one....gotta do it by hand..

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Are you still there? This question's solutions and rate of change have a bunch of decimals.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

After solving the equation it looks like the 2 points are -.4,0 and 0, -2/3.

OpenStudy (alexislynnn):

Okay thank you! I figured it out :)

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

What did you get for the rate of change?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Lol, if you have time, educate me on this, I'm actually not that good in math and I look up everything so I can learn more. Is it -1 and 2/3? For the rate of change?

OpenStudy (alexislynnn):

No, its y = -5/3 :)

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Ok, so basically the improper fraction of -1 and 2/3. Guess I catch a break, actually had to look that one up for help...

OpenStudy (alexislynnn):

HaHa. Yeah thank you for your help!
