Question

21.

Answer 1

Option fourth "−48; velocity decreases at rate of 48 miles per hour as the time increases" is correct.

What is the slope?

The ratio that y increase as x increases is the slope of a line. The slope of a line reflects how steep it is, but how much y increases as x increases. Anywhere on the line, the slope stays unchanged (the same).

$\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have a function:

v(t) = 352 − 48t

The above function represents the speed of a plane that is landing in the sky.

The function is a linear function.

On comparing with:

y = mx + c

v(t) = -48t + 352

m = -48

-48 is the slope and it representing velocity decreases at rate of 48 miles per hour as the time increases.

Thus, option fourth "−48; velocity decreases at rate of 48 miles per hour as the time increases" is correct.
