Question

Rate of change prob? Each of the following is the slope of a line representing daily revenue y in terms of time x in days. Use the slope to interpret any change in daily revenue for a one day increase in time.

a) m=400 b) m=100 c) m=0

Answer 1

Slope = Rise / Run
Slope = "change in y" / "change in x "

Since x = Days and y = Daily Revenue
(how much money they make each day)
then Slope = "change in daily revenue" / " number of day"

if m =400 then for each day, a net daily revenue of 400 dollars is gained
if m =100 then for each day, a net daily revenue of 100 dollars is gained
if m= 0 then for each day, no net daily revenue is gained
