Question

The given table shows the estimated number of internet users from 2001 to 2009. The number of users for each year is shown inmillions.YearInternet Users (in millions)Step 2 of 2: Find the slope of the line segment that represents the change in internet users from the year 2007 to 2009. (Round youranswer to two decimal places, if necessary.)

Answer 1

The slope of the line segment that represents the change in internet users from the year 2007 to 2009 is 5.00.

The formula for calculating the slope of a line is:

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

In this case, we are given the following information:

Year 2007: Internet users (y₁) = 220 million

Year 2009: Internet users (y₂) = 230 million

Therefore, we can plug these values into the formula to calculate the slope:

m = (230 million - 220 million) / (2009 - 2007)

m = 10 million / 2 years

m = 5 million/year

Answer 2

we have the following data:

Year Users

2001 155

2004 190

2007 220

2009 230

And we want to find the slope between 2007 and 2009 so we can do this:

`m=(230-220)/(2009-2007)=5`
