Question

Need help will fan and medal!!

Answer 1

What is the slope in this graph?

Answer 2

Are you familiar with "rise over run?"

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

what are the answer choices?

Answer 5

There are none.

Answer 6

Well, we know that the run is 1 because the x axis is increasing by 1.

Answer 7

Yeah

Answer 8

Wait so it would be 1/1??

Answer 9

No, you aren't taking into account the "rise" part. As you can see the y axis is decreasing by 30

Answer 10

So knowing all of that, what do you think the slope would be?

Answer 11

no it would be decreasing

Answer 12

1/30??

Answer 13

The rise is 30, but the slope is decreasing. So it becomes -30/1 or just -30.

Answer 14

no it is 30 but it would be negative

Answer 15

-30/1

Answer 16

That's what I said...

Answer 17

Oh ok and can you help me figure out the rate of change too??

Answer 18

Sure!

Answer 19

ok me to thats what i got it wont post fast enough for me i have a lag

Answer 20

i have to go bmannn can get it good luck!

Answer 21

Thanks and I need help finding the rate of change. That's the last question and there are no answer choices.

Answer 22

Okay, first of all, do you know what a rate of change is?

Answer 23

Yes

Answer 24

Great (I don't think you're dumb or anything, I just wanted to make sure). So what's the question?

Answer 25

Ok and the question is to figure out the rate of change on the same graph.

Answer 26

@Bmannn13 are you there??

Answer 27

Yes

Answer 28

Ok sorry thought you left.

Answer 29

Well, that's a strange question because a rate of change is the same thing as a slope. So the rate of change is still -30.

Answer 30

Oh ok thanks that's it!!

Answer 31

No problem!
