  • (10,30)
  • (40,120)

Rate of change=Slope:-


\\ \rm\hookrightarrow m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)


\\ \rm\hookrightarrow m=(120-30)/(40-10)


\\ \rm\hookrightarrow m=(90)/(30)


\\ \rm\hookrightarrow m=3ft/s

Answer:

  • 3 feet per second

Explanation:

The rate of change is:

  • m = the change in depth / the change in time =
  • (120 - 30) / (40 - 10) =
  • 90 / 30 =
  • 3 feet/second
