sorry to say
i have no clue :(
OpenStudy (wilder.monday):
Find the slope (rate of change) using the formula y2 - y1 all over x2 - x1
OpenStudy (wilder.monday):
Find the points where the x is 1 and the second pound there the x is 2 and use those coordinates for the formula I told you q
OpenStudy (wilder.monday):
It should be...
5 - 3 / 2 - 1
Which equals...
2 / 1
Which simplifies to...
2 (the answer)

how did you get 5 and 3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
are you sure
OpenStudy (wilder.monday):
When looking at the graph and looking at the x line (horizontal line) go to 1 and look up and the line crosses 1 at the coordinates of (1, 3) 1 being x1 and 3 being y1. Doing the same for 2 the coordinates are (2, 5) 2 is x2 and 5 is y2.

The answer is 2. Medal please? (Yes, I'm needy, don't judge)
