Question

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

Answer 1

Can comeone explain

Answer 2

someone*

Answer 3

They tell you it is a line already, so...

Answer 4

constant rate = linear

Answer 5

you need to use 2 of the data points and find the change

Answer 6

\[slope = \frac{ \Delta ~miles }{ \Delta~~time }\]

Answer 7

take the two points to be

(5 , 0.625) and (10, 1.25)

Answer 8

is the slope -10.2

Answer 9

slope = difference in the miles / difference in the time

Answer 10

\[slope = \frac{ 1.25 - .625 }{ 10-5 }\]

Answer 11

-10.2

Answer 12

0.625 / 5 or about 0.125

Answer 13

the slope is 0.125 miles per minute

Answer 14

oh

Answer 15

i forgot about the 10 sorry

Answer 16

thanx Dan

Answer 17

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

Answer 18

for 2 points on the table

Answer 19

kk

Answer 20

no prob
