How do you determine a rate of change with a graph

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tems11 [23]4 years ago
5 0

When graphed, rate of change can be referred to the slope, or

\frac{rise}{run} .


The slope can be found using the formula:

m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

\frac{rise}{run} is equal to how the Y and X values change from a given point.

A tiling company completes two jobs. The first job has $1200 in labor expenses for 40 hours worked, while the second job has $15
Lelu [443]

The slope (change in y/change in x) of the line is (1560 - 1200)/(52 - 40), which is equal to 30. We can plug this into the equation y = mx + b using either the point (40, 1200) or (52, 1560). The slope is represented by m and the y - intercept by b. Therefore, the two possible equations you could use are:

1200 = 30(40) + b

or 1560 = 30(52) + b

Using either equation, you'll get that b is equal to 0, which makes sense in the context of the problem, since it's reasonable to expect that the labor expenses would be 0 for 0 hours worked.

An elevator descends into mine shaft at the rate of 6m/min. If the descend starts from 10m above the ground level , how long wil
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: Hi!

So first, I'm going to convert "350 below ground level" to -350, as this is what "below ground level" represents.

Now, we should find the total distance traveled. Take the absolute value of -350 (350) and add it to 10, the metres above ground level. This is 360.

We already know the rate of travel; 6m/min. All we have to do now is divide the total distance (360) by the rate of travel (6)!

360 ÷ 6 = 60

So, it took 60 minutes, or one hour, for the elevator to travel down the shaft!

Hope this helps!
