Calculate the average rate of change over the intervals [0, 20] and [60, 80]. What does the average rate on these intervals tell you about the balloon’s journey?
[tex] \frac{20 - 80}{0 - 60 } = slope \: or the \: rate \: of \: \\ change \: \\ \\ \frac{ - 60}{ - 60} = 1[/tex] It tells you that over these intervals the balloon is going at a constant speed.
