Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the coordinates (30, 1) and (150, 5) to solve this. Time is always an x thing, while things like distance and weight and value are y things. Put them into the slope formula:
[tex]m(\frac{miles}{sec})=\frac{5-1}{150-30}=\frac{4}{120}=\frac{1}{30}[/tex] This translates to:
The rocket is ascending at a constant rate of 1 mile every 30 seconds; or, conversely, for every 30 seconds the rocket is flying, it is traveling 1 mile.
