Continuing the previous problem, use the data points (1950, 0.75) and (1997, 5.15) to find the slope. show all work necessary for your calculations. if necessary, round your answer to the hundredths place. what does the slope represent in the context of the problem?

Slope is 0.094,

It represents the average rate of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the slope is the ratio of difference in y-coordinates and the difference in x-coordinates,

Also, in a order pair, first element shows the x-coordinate and second element shows the y-coordinate.

Here, the data points are (1950, 0.75) and (1997, 5.15),

Thus, the slope is,

Also, Slope represents the average rate of change.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
