Question

The price of bread has been increasing over the last month. Brian believes there is a positive correlation between the number of predicted storms and the price of bread.

Number of Storms Predicted Bread Price
1 $2.30
3 $2.41
4 $2.50
6 $2.68
7 $2.81


Use the table to determine the average rate of change from 3 to 6 storms.
3
0.09
0.26
0.51

Answer 1

Answer:i would go with .09

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Second Option

`m=0.09`

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the average rate of change between two values of x (
`x_1` and
`x_2`) is:

`m=(f(x_2)-f(x_1))/(x_2-x_1)`

`f (x_1)` and
`f (x_2)` are the values of the function when
`x = x_1` and
`x = x_2`

In this case

`x_1=3\\x_2=6`

Observe that when
`x=3`,
`f(x) =2.41` and when
`x=6`,
`f(x)=2.68`

Finally the average rate of change from 3 to 6 storms is:

`m=(2.68-2.41)/(6-3)`

`m=0.09`
