@Deadly_Roses

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

A. 5

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

how do you know?

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

prove it.

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

help!!

OpenStudy (deadly_roses):

wouldnt it be 40? since its adding 5 more each weak by 8 weeks 8x5= 40

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

You take the information and put it into the average rate of change equation, y1 - y2/x1 - x2

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

ok one of you is correcti dont know whois thoi need an answer deadly roses do you think he is correct or u?

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

So 25 - 20/1 - 0 = 5, that's the slope of the line.

OpenStudy (deadly_roses):

oh nvm i was doing a different form of an equation....

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

alright im going with his is he right?

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

ur a human calculator

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

I just learned about this in my Algebra class.

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

ok thanks i will...put your answer then

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

so 5 right?

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

You can also tell because he increases the number of push-ups he does by 5 each week. So the slope will increase by 5.

OpenStudy (isaiahjwolfe):

Yeah

OpenStudy (vickyisthesmartone123):

ok i need help with more mind helping?
