To find the rate of change, we can use the slope formula.
The slope (rate of change) formula is:
Slope = (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)
Given points (1, 160) and (3, 80), we can assign these values as follows:
X1 = 1, Y1 = 160
X2 = 3, Y2 = 80
Plugging these values into the formula:
Slope = (80 - 160) / (3 - 1)
Slope = (-80) / 2
Slope = -40
Therefore, the rate of change in the number of gallons in the pool after each hour has passed is -40 gallons per hour.
So, the answer is:
-40 gal./hr.
