Answer:

  25 (ft/s)

Step-by-step explanation:

The "rate of change" is taken to mean the "rise" divided by the "run". Here, adjacent points differ in their y-value by 25 ft and their x-value by 1 second.

The rate of change is ...

  rise/run = (25 ft)/(1 second) = 25 ft/second

Usually, we're just interested in the numerical value: 25.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The graph is mis-labeled. It is not showing "rate of ascent." It is showing height as a function of time. The "rate of ascent" is the <em>slope</em> of the line on the graph, not its <em>value</em>.

The school day begins at 7:55 a.m. and ends at 2:40 p.m. how long are you in school?
Mademuasel [1]

Think:

7:55 a.m. is 5 minutes (5/60 hrs) before 8 a.m.;

from 8 to noon it's 4 hours, and from noon to 2:40 p.m. is 2 2/3 hours.

Thus, you're in school 5/60 hrs + 4 hrs + 2 2/3 hrs, or

6 2/3 hrs + 5/60 hrs, or 6 40/60 hrs + 5/60 hrs, or

6 45/60 hrs, or 6 3/4 hrs.

Of course there are other ways in which you could do this problem:

4 hrs 5 min plus 2 hrs 40 min comes out to 6 hrs 45 min, or 6 3/4 hrs.

The distance between (-5, 3) and B(5, 3) is
8090 [49]
In here, we will use the distance formula
\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}

Compute the distance between <span>(-5, 3) and (5, 3)
</span>=\sqrt{\left(5-\left(-5\right)\right)^2+\left(3-3\right)^2}
<span>
= 10 

The distance between </span>(-5, 3) and (5, 3) is 10
