you are riding your bike. At 10:04am you have riddden your bike 23 miles. By 10:17am you have ridden 179 miles. Find the rate of change in miles per hour. if needed, round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

The answer is 720 mph, since we make time the x and distance y. We use the slope formula (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

(179-23)/(17-4)

156 miles/13 mins

12 miles per min

Since the answer is in hours instead of minutes, we multiply 12 by 60 to get 720 mph

Answer 2

the answer that i got after working it out for your question is 720
