What is the rate of change between Wednesday and Friday?

1 answer

To find the rate of change between Wednesday and Friday, we first need to find the values for both days:

  • Wednesday: 425
  • Friday: 387

We can calculate the rate of change by using the formula:

\[ \text{Rate of Change} = \frac{\text{Value on Friday} - \text{Value on Wednesday}}{\text{Number of days}} \]

Substituting the values:

\[ \text{Rate of Change} = \frac{387 - 425}{2} \]

\[ \text{Rate of Change} = \frac{-38}{2} = -19 \]

The rate of change between Wednesday and Friday is \(-19\). This indicates a decrease of 19 per day over the two days from Wednesday to Friday.
