Question

the graph shows the distance jeffery is from a water fountain after a certain amout of time. fid and intercept the rate of change and the initial value

Answer 1

The rate of change is the slope of the function:

Apply the slope formula (m):

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Replacing by 2 points on the graph:

`m=(10-8)/(4-3)=(2)/(1)=2`

The slope is the speed of Jeffrey.

Initial value is (3,8), where he starts
