Question

at 4am the temperature was 38 degrees f.by 11am the temp had risen to 60 degrees f. find the average rate of change or slop in degrees per hour

Answer 1

Explanation:

From 4 AM to 11 AM:

The temperature went up from 38°F to 60°F.

That's a change of 22 degrees.

It took 7 hours for this change to happen.

To find the average rate of change or slope, divide the temperature change (22 degrees) by the time it took (7 hours):

Average Rate of Change ≈ 22°F / 7 hours ≈ 3.14°F per hour.

So, the temperature increased at an average rate of about 3.14 degrees Fahrenheit per hour during that time.
