Question

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!! The graph below shows the height through which an elevator travels, y, in x seconds: what is the rate of change for the relationship represented in the graph?
1/15
1/14
 14
 15

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph it is clear that the line passes through the points (1,15) and (2,30).

If a line passes through two points then the slope of the line is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The line passes through the points (1,15) and (2,30). So, slope of the line is

$m=\frac{30-15}{2-1}$

$m=\frac{15}{1}$

$m=15$

Slope of the line is 15. Therefore the correct option is 4.

Answer 2

The rate of change would be 15. The equation would be y = 15x + 0.
I hope this helps love! :)
