Suppose that the water level of a river is 34 feet after 3 days of rain and 62 feet after 10 days of rain. The river was 22 feet before the rain began.(4 points)

Question

so what is the rate of change (slope) for this scenario

Answer 1

To find the rate of change (slope) for this scenario, we can use the formula for the slope of a line:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

In this case, the change in y is the difference in the water level, which is 62 feet - 22 feet = 40 feet.
The change in x is the difference in the number of days of rain, which is 10 days - 3 days = 7 days.

Therefore, the slope is 40 feet / 7 days = 5.714 feet/day.
