The position of a particle moving along a straight line, in meters, is given by s= 6/t, where t represents time, in seconds. Calculate the average velocity of the particle, in meters per second, on the time interval [1,3]

The average velocity of the particle on the time interval is -2 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be the position curve which is continuous on the time interval . The average velocity (), measured in meters per second, on the time interval is represented by the following expression:

Where:

, - Initial and final times, measured in seconds.

, - Initial and final positions, measured in meters.

If we know that , and , the average velocity of the particle on the time interval is:

The average velocity of the particle on the time interval is -2 meters per second.

i believe that the slope of the line is -5

step-by-step explanation:

time is equal to distance over rate so

t = d/r

need a little bit more information for the second question.
