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>.

What is the y-intercept of the line?<br><br> x 16 24 32<br> y 44 64 84
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The y-intercept of the line is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You could try to find the slope of the line and then find the intercept with y axis by sloving b = y - ax

But here it seems easy enough once you see that the x values in the table increase by a factor of 8 and the y values in the table increase by a factor of 20.

(By the way, this is enough to give you the slope, because it is 8/20 ). But why bother?

Just extrapolate the table to the left, and you will find the y value where x = 0

x 0 8 16 24 32

y 2 22 44 64 84

So the y-intercept of the line is 2.

Extra:

The full equation of the line is:

y = 8/20x + 2
