Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
For our problem since we only in 10 am:
I'm going to let x=4 represent the time 10:04 am
which means I'm going to let x=17 represent 10:17am.
So when x=4, y=23 miles and when x=17,y=179 miles.
You have two points.
You can use the formula .
Or just line the points up vertically and subtract them vertically, then put 2nd difference over first difference. Like this:
( 17 , 179)
-( 4 , 23)
-----------------------
13 156
So the slope is 156/13=12 miles/hour.
