Question

Interpret the average rate of change of -14/7 that you found previously. What does this mean in terms if the waterslide, from x=0 to x=15

Answer 1

On average, the slide drops 14 feet for every 3 feet of horizontal distance.

On average, the slide drops about 4.7 feet for every 1 foot of horizontal distance.

Explanation:

on edg... Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

1. The vertical components decrease by 14 units while the horizontal component increase by 3 units

2.it therefore means that the vertical component decreases by 70units

Explanation:

Slope of a graph is change in the vertical axis over the the change in the horizontal axis

in the above question, if the average rate of change is -14/7 it therefore means that the vertical components decrease by 14 units while the horizontal component inc rfease by 3 units

what does that mean if the waterslide from x=0, and x=15

it means that the vertical components decrease why there is an increment distance in the horizontal axis

mathematically, we say

-14/3=-y/
`s= (dy)/(dx) , slope=s\\-14/3=(-y)/(15-0)`

14/3=y/15

y=70

it therefore means that the vertical component decreases by 70units
