Now suppose that when the yearly rate of economic growth rose from 3.5% to 4.5%, the yearly rate of increase in airborne pollutants rose from 5.5% to 7.5%. What is the average slope of a nonlinear curve between these two points using the arc method?The average slope is 2/3.The average slope is 2.The average slope is -2.The average slope is 1/2.
Solution
Solution: The average slope is 2.
Explanation: The change in the growth rate is +1 and change in the rate of increase in airborne pollutants is + 2. Thus slope is 2 (= 2/1)
