Question

100 POINTS

Find the rate of change for the ramp represented in the graph.
A)
2


B)
3


C)
1/2


D)
1/3

Answer 1

Simple.....

using $\frac{ y_{1}- y_{2} }{ x_{1}- x_{2} }$

--->>>

Take any of the points on the line-->> (0,0) and (15,5)

$\frac{0-5}{0-15} = \frac{-5}{-15} = \frac{1}{3}$

This is your slope-->>$\frac{1}{3}$

To check it..go one up then three over...does it hit the coordinates? Yes.

Thus, your answer, D.

Answer 2

Hi there!

The rate of increase in the graph is D. 1/3
