The championship is played over two days. After the first day his score is -280 . Twenty minutes into the second day, his score is -360

X represents the minutes

y represents the score

After the first day his score is -280 .

After 1 day score is -280

So when x=0 minutes on second day , the score is -280

Twenty minutes into the second day, his score is -360

When x=20 the score is -360

So we have two points (0,-280) and (20,-360)

Now we find slope


slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)


slope = (-360-(-280))/(20-0)


slope = (-80)/(20)

So slope = -4

Slope = -4 for the whole day
