QuestionSlope As a Rate of Change Slope is often referred to as a rate of change because it compares the change in one variable (the rise) to the change in another variable (the run). Chris runs each day as part of his daily exercise. The graph shows his distance from home as he runs his route.
Calculate his rate of change (speed) for each segment of the graph and describe what is happening in each segment. Don't forget to include units in your calculations! \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \hline Segment & \begin{tabular}{c} Slope (Rate of \\ Change) \end{tabular} & \\ \hline AB & & \\ \hline BC & & \\ \hline CD & & \\ \hline DE & & \\ \hline \end{tabular} 17

Describe what is happening in each segment.
- Segment AB: Chris is running away from home at a speed of 40m/min 40 \, \text{m/min} . - Segment BC: Chris is stationary, as the distance does not change, with a speed of 0m/min 0 \, \text{m/min} . - Segment CD: Chris resumes running away from home at a speed of 40m/min 40 \, \text{m/min} . - Segment DE: Chris is stationary again, with a speed of 0m/min 0 \, \text{m/min} . - Segment EF: Chris is running back towards home at a speed of 80m/min 80 \, \text{m/min} .
