The graph shows the altitude of a bird over time. a graph measuring altitude and time.
what is the slope of the line and what does it mean in this situation?
the slope is –500 . this means that the bird descends 500 m each minute.
the slope is –350 . this means that the bird descends 350 m each minute.
the slope is 350. this means that the bird ascends 350 m each minute.
the slope is 500. this means that the bird ascends 500 m each minute

The slope is –500 . This means that the bird descends 500 m each minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line that passes through (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

From the graph , the x-axis is representing time in minutes and y-axis is representing altitude in meters .

The line is passing through (2,5000) and (5,3500).

Then, the slope of the line will be :

I.e. slope =- 500.

Since , the slop is negative it means the bird descends 500 m each minute.

Hence, the correct answer is

The slope is –500 . This means that the bird descends 500 m each minute

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
