In 2005, there were 12,000 students at Beachon High. In 2010, there were 12,250. What is the rate of change un the number of students

Sagot :

The rate of change of the number of students was 50

the slope goes by several names

• average rate of change

• rate of change

• deltaY over deltaX

• Δy over Δx

• rise over run

• gradient

• constant of proportionality

however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.

so in this case we have the provided ones (2005 , 12000) and (2010 , 12250)

[tex](\stackrel{x_1}{2005}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{12000})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2010}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{12250}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{12250}-\stackrel{y1}{12000}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2010}-\underset{x_1}{2005}}} \implies \cfrac{12250 -12000}{2010 -2005}\implies \cfrac{250}{5}\implies \underset{\textit{rate of change}}{50}[/tex]
