Question

marcio is playing a video game. the number of minutes, x, marcio plays is related to the number of points, y, he earns. How many points does he earn per minute

Answer 1

85 points per minute

Explanation:

the points earned per minute is calculated as

`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₂, y₂) = (200, 17007) and (x₁, y₁ ) = (100,8507) ← 2 ordered pairs from table

points earned per minute =
`(17007-8507)/(200-100)` =
`(8500)/(100)` = 85
