Question

the slope of the secant line is ( m_{\text{sec}} = 84 ). (type an integer or a decimal.) what is the relationship of the slope to the moving object? a. the slope is the average velocity of the object over the interval 0.25,2 b. the slope is the instantaneous velocity when t=2. c. the slope is the average velocity of the object over the interval 29,176. d. the slope is the maximum velocity of the object.

Explanation:

The slope of the secant line (average rate of change) represents the average velocity over an interval. Option A's interval and description match this concept. Option B is about instantaneous velocity (tangent slope), C's interval is unclear, D is incorrect as slope isn't max velocity.

Answer:

A. The slope is the average velocity of the object over the interval [0, 25.2]
