Question 1182968: I am trying to solve the following problem:
"A wood shop makes toys. The number of toys constructed can be determined by the equation T = .05w, where T is number of toys and w is the number of wooden pieces used. What is the rate of change?"
How do you determine the rate of change in this problem?

This is like y=0.05x+0, where the intercept is 0, not that it matters here.
The rate of change is the change in y over the change in x, the slope, and it is 0.05. That means in the context of this problem that for every rise of w, T rises 0.05.
