Question

The odometer in the car measures the number of Miles driven by the car since it was made. During the trip the odometer reading in Anita‘s car is modeled by the function Y equals 95,000+55X where ex represents the number of hours driven during the trip and why represents the Odometer reading in miles. What is the meaning of the rate change in this function?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given,

The odometer reads the number of miles.

y represents the number of miles

x represents the number of hours driven

Recall, slope = change in y values/change in x values

This means that

slope = change in number of miles or distance/change in number of hours

speed = distance/time

Thus, the slope or rate of change represents

The number of miles driven during each hour of the trip
