The slope of the graph is -1/8 and it implies that the Scuba enters the ground at 1/8 meters per seconds
How to interpret the slope?
From the graph, we have the following points:
(x, y) = (80, 0) and (0, 10)
The slope is then calculated using:
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]m = \frac{10 -0}{0-80}[/tex]
Evaluate the difference
[tex]m = -\frac{10}{80}\\[/tex]
Simplify
m = -1/8
This means that the slope is -1/8.
And it implies that the Scuba enters the ground at 1/8 meters per seconds
