Question

Help me with this please!!

Answer 1

Answer:

-1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows the straight line passing through the points (3,-1) and (-3,7).

The slope of the line passing through the points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is

$\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

In your case, the slope is

$\dfrac{7-(-1)}{-3-3}\\ \\=\dfrac{7+1}{-6}\\ \\=-\dfrac{8}{6}\\ \\=-\dfrac{4}{3}\\ \\\approx -1.3$

The rate of change is -1.3
