\[(80-0)\div (20-0) = slope \] \[slope =4\] the slope is 4, meaning david burns 4 calories per minute.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let m = the slope of the graph \[m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)\] from the graph \[m=(60-20)/(15-5)\] \[m=40/10\] \[m=4\] \[y=mx\] the slope is 4 calories per minute when x = 1 minute \[y=4*1\] \[y = 4\] David is burning 4 calories per minute

@fatZak to me that is perfect explanation!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

probably the only thing you did not do was interpret your result!
