Determine the rate of change in the following description. In Ms. Katy’s math class, a homework assignment is worth 100 points. If students turn the homework in late, there will be a deduction of 5 points per day. (1 point)

Responses

m=100
m equals 100

m=−100
m equals negative 100

m=5
m equals 5

m=−5

m equals negative 5

m equals negative 5.

To determine the rate of change in this description, we need to determine how the points change per day when the homework is turned in late.

Given that there is a deduction of 5 points per day, we can say that the rate of change is -5. This means that for each day the homework is late, the points decrease by 5.

So, the rate of change in this description is -5.
