Help @the_ocean_girl

Answer 1

Let's do some slope :D

Answer 2

XD ok

Answer 3

Okay so the first thing you need to understand is rise over run

So rise is your vertical change. It's how many units up or down one point is from another. If it's going down, then it would be negative rise. If up, positive rise.
The run would be the vertical change, aka how many units left or right one point is from another. If left, it would be negative and if right, it would be positive, okay?

Answer 4

okay i understand

Answer 5

So your first question is asking you to describe how you would find the rate of change, aka the slope. Do you know how you would do this?

Answer 6

with triangles? and rise/run?

Answer 7

@the_ocean_girl are you there?

Answer 8

Let's pick 2 points on the graph and I'll show you what to do. From there you can put it in word form for your homework. (2,16) and (4,32) to keep it simple. Now, the formula for slope is \[\frac{ y_{2}- y_{1} }{ x_{2}-x_{1} }\]

Now in this case, 32 is acting as y_2 and 16 as y_1. So you subtract 16 from 32 to get your rise value. 4 would be x_2 and 2 would be x_1 so you subtract 2 from 4 to get your run value. If you can simplify the resulting fraction, it's best if you do. This will give you your exact rate of change.
