Question:

The graph shows the amount of money Miguel earns after working x hours. What is the rate of change of the amount earned with respect to hours worked for this function? hours per dollar hours per dollar 3 dollars per hour 13 dollars per hour

13 dollars per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change (ROC) for the point defined on the graph can be deduced by calculating the ratio of the difference between the two coordinate points given, similar to calculating the gradient or slope :

Point a = (5, 65) = (x2, y2)

Point b = (2, 26) = (x1, y1)

Calculating the gradient or slope :

Rate of change = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Rate of change = (65 - 26) / (5 - 2)

Rate of change = 39 / 3

= 13 dollars per hour
