Answer:

a. 37.5

b. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Rate of change the first 4 seconds can be calculated using the points (0, 0) and (4, 150):

Rate of change = [tex] \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{150 - 0}{4 - 0} = \frac{150}{4} = 37.5 [/tex]

b. Rate of change between 8 seconds and 12 seconds using the points (8, 150) and (12, 250):

Rate of change = [tex] \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{250 - 150}{12 - 8} = \frac{100}{4} = 25 [/tex]
