The graph shows the distance, y, that a car traveled in x hours: What is the rate of change for the relationship represented in the graph? (5 points) 1/35 1/34 34 35

Rate of change formula given values x=a and x=b:\[\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\]

i dont know how to do it

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

or in simpler terms, just find the slope between two points lol

OpenStudy (kpop4life123):

is it d i think

http://prntscr.com/a9zdrh Okay, using these example points (x, f(x)): point A (lower point): coordinates (1,35) point B (higher point): coordinates (2, 70) So inputting into formula -\[\frac{f(2)-f(1)}{2-1}\]

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

point A: x = 1, f(x) = 35 point B: x = 2, f(x) = 70 f(x) is the output based on the input x. Basically the y-value\[\frac{f(2)-f(1)}{2-1}\rightarrow\frac{70-35}{2-1}\rightarrow ?\]

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

(It's basically slope but way more complex and roundabout. :T)

OpenStudy (kpop4life123):

35/1

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Yep :-)

OpenStudy (kpop4life123):

thank you :)
