Weird question.
logically, the only answer that can make sense is a negative one since it is a decreasing slope.
the secant is the average rate of change (and is 1/tangent)
the tangent is the instantaneous rate of change. (1/secant)
we want the first one which is:<span><span><span><span>Δx</span><span>Δy</span></span>=<span><span>Δ weeks</span><span>Δ lbs</span></span>=<span><span>5−0</span><span>137−150</span></span>=<span>5<span>−13</span></span>=−0.3846</span></span>
Answer:
The answer to this equation is 8
Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First: Subtract</u>

meaning that 5 is greater than 4.
You still need another number to make it equal than or greater than or equal to five.

Since 5 minus 4 does equal 1
You need somewhere to divide it from to get 1 so you can add up the 4 to it and get the answer to the equation.
<u>Lastly: Divide</u>


Now, if you do 8/8 which equals 1, 1+4 = 5; Now everything is, <u>equaled</u> up!
<u>So in conclusion...</u>
