art C) How does Mario's rate of change compare to Luigi's rate of change?

Why are the two rates different from one another? (2 pts)

Answer 1

Part A) The rate of change for each line represents the number of snacks consumed.

Part B) Mario's rate of change is -200 calories per snack. Luigi's rate of change is -100 calories per snack.

Part C) Mario's rate of change is higher than Luigi's rate of change. This is because Mario's snacks have 200 calories each, while Luigi's snacks only have 100 calories each. Therefore, Mario consumes more calories per snack compared to Luigi.
