Suppose that the height of the slide is 2 feet,
when x = 20. What is the average rate of change
over the entire slide?


Respuesta :

[tex]\bf \stackrel{\textit{average rate of change}}{slope = m\implies} \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{height}{2}}{\stackrel{width}{20}}\implies \cfrac{1}{10}[/tex]

A slope is also known as the gradient of a line. The rate of change is 0.1 feet per unit.

What is Slope?

A slope is also known as the gradient of a line is a number that helps to know both the direction and the steepness of the line.

Given the height of the slide is 2 feet, while the value of x is 20 units. The average rate of change is the slope of the line. Therefore, the rate of change over the entire slide will be,

Rate of change = 2/20 = 0.1 feet per unit

Hence, the rate of change is 0.1 feet per unit.
