Question

in the 18 years from 1982 through 2000, a musical performance was performed on a famous street 6713 times. what was the average rate of performances per year?

Answer 1

In order to determine the average rate, use the following formula:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

In this case, you have:

x1 = 1982

x2 = 2000

y1 = 0

y2 = 6713

Replace the values of the previous parameters into the formula for m:

`m=(6713-0)/(2000-1982)=(6713)/(18)=372.94`

Hence, the average rate of performance per year is 372.94
