Ramonas lemonade pitcher holds 32 ounces of lemonade but it has a crack and leaks lemonade at a rate of 3 ounces per minute What is the rate of change and what class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of the situation is known as the slope:

Slope = Δy/Δx

Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1

From the graph, x2 = 10.5, x1 = 0. y2 = 32, y1 = 0

Slope = 32-0/10.5-0

Slope = 32/10.5

Slope = 3.047

Hence the rate of change is 3.047 ounces per minutes and the situation represents the slope of the graph.
