Joseph drove from his summer home to his place of work. To avoid the road construction, Joseph decided to travel the gravel road. After driving for 20
minutes, he was 62
miles away from work, and after driving for 40
minutes, he was 52
miles away from work. This situation is shown in the graph below. Determine the slope of the line, and describe what it means in this situation.The slope (rate of change) means that for every ? minutes that Joseph is driving, he has ?
fewer mile remaining to get to work.



Answer :

Answer: The slope is. -1/2, and the answers would be: The slope (rate of change) means that for every 20 minutes that Joseph is driving, he has 10 fewer mile remaining to get to work.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the slope we need to to subtract y sub. 2- y sub. 1 over x sub 2 - x sub  1 that would be 52-62=-10, and 40-20=20. -10/20=-1/2.
