Negative constant rate of change
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yes
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
it's constant because each week is the same loss of 3 pounds
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
which scenario has the positive constant rate of change?
OpenStudy (shaleiah):
Scenario 4 (positive constant rate)

`Scenario 2 would be... positive varying rate of change. `
yes that is correct. We have positive rate of change because the amount is growing. The rate of change varies (ie not constant) because the amount it grows by changes each time
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so that leaves scenario 3 to be negative varying rate of change
the car is losing value, so it has negative rate of change
the amount it loses changes (varies) each time
