Determine the rate of change in the following description. In Ms. Katy's math class, a homework assignment is worth 100 points. If students turn the homework in late, there will be a deduction of 5 points per day. (1 point)

Question

• m = 100
O m=5
•m = -100
Om=-5

Answer 1

In the scenario described, the rate of change is the deduction of points for each day the homework is turned in late. Since there is a deduction of 5 points for every day the homework is late, the correct representation of this rate of change is:

m = -5

This indicates that for each day late, the score decreases by 5 points.
