Question

The graph shows a scuba diver's ascent over time. Use the graph to find the slope of the line. Complete the description of what the slope means in this context. Scuba Diver's Ascent Depth(m) Time(sec)​

Answer 1

Answer: The slope of the line is 0.05. This indicates that the diver ascends at a rate of 0.05 m/s.

Explanation:

if he goes up 2 meters every 40 seconds then 1 meter is 20 seconds so 1/20 = 0.05

Answer 2

The slope of the line is .25 This indicates that the diver ascends at a rate of .25 m/s.

Explanation:

0 - (-10)

------------ == 10/40 == .25

40 - 0
