I have two question I NEEDS HELP 1# Jason is participating in a walkathon. He writes the equation m = 2d + 50 to represent the amount of money he collects from each sponsor for walking d kilometers. What number represents the rate of change?
2# Cierra is keeping track of the amount of money in her lunch account each week. She writes the equation A = -6w + 40. What number represents the rate of change?

The rate of change is the slope

In this case

m=2d+50 is a slope intercept equation.

where m is where the y would be

the 2 which is originally where the slope or (m) would be

the d for the (x)

and 50 for the y intercpet or (b)

so

#1=2

The expalantion is the same but different numbers, when asked for the rate of change look at the slope or the number next to the variable. Also put it in y=mx+b form to make sure the number is correct.

#2= -6

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
