17.156 is the rational number, if the number can be put into fraction form then it is considered rational
x=1 f = 10(5.5)(1) = 55
x=2, f = 10(5.5)(2) = 110
110-55 = 55
2-1 =1
55/1 = 55
average rate of change = 55
Hi there! The answer is B. it would be less steep.
The change of the function (in this case) influences the slope of the line. Since we've modified the slope from 5 to 3 / 4, the line will be less steep.
