1. How many calories is Jane burning per minute? 2. What is the slope of the graph?
Take one intersection point. Divide calories by minutes to see how many she burns in a minute.
@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 \[\frac{ y_{2}-y_{1} }{ x_{2}-x_{1} } =slope\]
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
I got 5 for both parts.
It was right, thank you both!
the equation is a line so it's slope is changing at a constant rate. no problem @Unofficialllyy
