we can use the slope formula to calculate the rate of change if x1 = 1 and x2 = 3 and y1 = 20 and y2 = 10 then (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = slope = ?

UsArmy3947:

What am I suppose to do?

SkyVoltage43:

hmmmm

Vocaloid:

if x1 = 1 and x2 = 3 and y1 = 20 and y2 = 10 replace "x1" with 1, x2 with 3, etc. and calculate (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

UsArmy3947:

Is it D? ^.^

Vocaloid:

please follow my instructions

SkyVoltage43:

is he right tho? he might have just worked it by himself and needs you to tell him if he is right or not

Vocaloid:

|dw:1501862932250:dw|

SkyVoltage43:

so its D right?

Vocaloid:

no

UsArmy3947:

y/x?

SkyVoltage43:

how?

Vocaloid:

look at the x intervals

SkyVoltage43:

ohhhhhh okay now i see so its B? i might be wrong

Vocaloid:

@UsArmy3947 can you take a look at my diagram and calculate the slope please? I have drawn arrows to the numbers you are supposed to fill in

Allison:

I thought D.

SkyVoltage43:

thats what i thought

Vocaloid:

if you look at the diagram slope = (10-20)/(3-1) = ?

UsArmy3947:

-10/2?

Vocaloid:

yes, and that simplifies to...?

UsArmy3947:

-5

Vocaloid:

good! so your rate of change is -5, which eliminates everything except C

UsArmy3947:

:O thanks....

UsArmy3947:

I got it wrong :( wasn't C

Vocaloid:

wait what

UsArmy3947:

wait... oh I changed the answer choice of the wrong question

UsArmy3947:

Let me take it again... to correct it

UsArmy3947:

They changed the questions >.<
