<h3>
Answer: Choice C) 40 </h3>
==========================================================
Work Shown:
Plug in x = 0

This indicates that (0,1) is on the curve. This is the y intercept.
Do the same for x = 2

So we know that (2,81) is another point on this curve.
We need to find the slope of the line through (0,1) and (2,81) to get the slope of the secant line we want.

The slope of the line through (0,1) and (2,81) is m = 40. This value of m is exactly the slope of the secant line your teacher is asking for. This is why the answer is choice C.

Answer:
18.87 km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
First boat is heading North with a speed of 10 km/hr.
Second boat is heading West with a speed of 16 km/hr.
Time for which they move = 2.5 hours
To find:
The speed at which the distance is increasing between the two boats.
Solution:
Let the situation be represented by the attached diagram.
Their initial position is represented by point O from where they move towards point A and point B respectively.



We can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance AB.
AB is the hypotenuse of the right angled
.
According to Pythagorean theorem:

The speed at which distance is increasing between the two boats is given as:
