Anne runs at a constant rate. The table shows the distance she traveled at specific times during her run. What is the slope of the line that represents Anne’s speed? Anne’s Speed Minutes 5 10 15 20 Distance (mi) 0.625 1.25 1.875 2.5
Can comeone explain

They tell you it is a line already, so...
constant rate = linear
you need to use 2 of the data points and find the change
\[slope = \frac{ \Delta ~miles }{ \Delta~~time }\]
take the two points to be (5 , 0.625) and (10, 1.25)
is the slope -10.2
slope = difference in the miles / difference in the time
\[slope = \frac{ 1.25 - .625 }{ 10-5 }\]
-10.2
0.625 / 5 or about 0.125
the slope is 0.125 miles per minute
oh
i forgot about the 10 sorry
thanx Dan
no prob, if they give you a table of values, and ask for the slope Just take the difference in the Y values divided by the difference in teh X values, in this case it was miles and minutes
for 2 points on the table
kk
no prob
