1. How many calories is Jane burning per minute? 2. What is the slope of the graph?

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Take one intersection point. Divide calories by minutes to see how many she burns in a minute.

OpenStudy (photon336):

@Unofficialllyy this graph is a line in the form for part b to find the slope: \[y = m(x)+b \] so the solpe of this line will be m and that is the change in y over the change in x. in your figure you can pick any two points on your graph and use the formula below \[\frac{ y_{2}-y_{1} }{ x_{2}-x_{1} } =slope\]

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

For example: (10, 50) where x is minutes and y is calories She is burning 50 calories in 10 minutes, so we can divide 50 calories into 10 minutes and that will give us our value.

K one sec

OpenStudy (unofficialllyy):

I got 5 for both parts.

OpenStudy (unofficialllyy):

It was right, thank you both!

OpenStudy (photon336):

the equation is a line so it's slope is changing at a constant rate. no problem @Unofficialllyy
