Answer:
Option A - 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The graph represents Jason's speed on a trip.
To find : What is the rate of change for the period of time between 10 and 20 minutes?
Solution :
The rate of change is defined as the division of change in speed by change in time.
Now, the rate of change for the period of time between 10 and 20 minutes is
Speed in 10 minutes is 50 mph
Speed in 20 minutes is 50 mph
The rate of change is [tex]r=\frac{s_2-s_1}{t_2-t_1}[/tex]
[tex]r=\frac{50-50}{20-10}[/tex]
[tex]r=0[/tex]
Therefore, Option A is correct.
The rate of change for the period of time between 10 and 20 minute is 0 or constant as shown graphically.
