Elevation vs. Distance The following graph, obtained from GPS data, shows the elevation of a hiker as a function of the distance d from the starting point of the trail. a. Find the slope of the secant line that passes through points A and B . Interpret your answer as an average rate of change over the interval 1 ≤ d ≤ 3. b. Repeat the procedure outlined in part (a) for the secant line that passes through points P and Q c. Notice that the elevation function is nearly constant over the segment of the trail from mile d = 4.5 to mile d = 5. Give a plausible explanation for the horizontal line segment.

World Population The figure shows the real and projected total population w, in billions, of the world forselected years t from 1950 through 2050.a. Write the equation of the line connecting thepoints (1950, 2.556) and (2050, 9.346).b. Does this line appear to be a reasonable fit to thedata points?c. Interpret the slope of this line as a rate of changeof the world population.d. Use the equation from part (a) to predict what theworld population will be in 2025.
(b) Interpret the slope. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete
your choice.
A. For a bone density of 0 g/cm³, the number of colas consumed is predicted to be
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
B.
For 0 colas consumed in a week, the bone density is predicted to be
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
g/cm³
O C.
For every additional cola consumed per week, the bone density decreases by
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
O D. For every unit increase in bone density, the number of colas decreases by
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
O E. It is not appropriate to interpret the slope.
g/cm³, on average.
on average.
Two separate sections of a roof have the same slope. If the rise and run on one section are, respectively, 3.0 m and 7.2 m, what is the run on the other section if its rise is
3.5 m?
The run is
m.
(Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
