Question

what is the constant rate of change of parts produced per hour?

Parts 1350 3375

Time 2 5

Answer 1

The rate of change of parts produced per hour is $\frac{3}{2025}$

Explanation:

Let the values in the x axis is represented by Parts.

Let the values in the y axis is represented by Time.

The formula to find the constant rate of change is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Let us substitute the values using the coordinates $(1350,2)$ and $(3375,5)$

Thus, we get,

$m=\frac{5-2}{3375-1350}$

Simplifying, we have,

$m=\frac{3}{2025}$

Thus, the constant rate of change of parts produced per hour is $\frac{3}{2025}$
