Question

2b.) and please explain how you did it

Answer 1

Answer: Aaron

Explanation:

2b is asking which slope is greater.

Choose two points for Ricky and two points for Aaron in order to find the rate of change (slope). Use the slope formula:
`m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`\text{Ricky:}\ (5, 50)\ and\ (0, 30)\qquad \qquad \text{Aaron:}\ (4, 30)\ and\ (0, 10) \\\\m=(50-30)/(5-0)\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad m=(30-10)/(4-0)\\\\.\quad =(20)/(5)\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \quad =(20)/(4)\\\\.\quad =4\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =5\\\\`

Aaron has has a greater slope than Ricky
