To find the rate of change in the time Rick spent on homework between Monday and Tuesday, let's analyze the data points from the graph:

• Monday: Rick spent 39 minutes on homework.
• Tuesday: Rick spent 32 minutes on homework.

Step 1: Calculate the difference in minutes

The change in time from Monday to Tuesday is: $39 - 32 = 7 \text{ minutes}$

Step 2: Calculate the rate of change

Since this change occurs over one day, the rate of change in time per day is: $7 \text{ minutes per day}$

Answer

The rate of change between Monday and Tuesday is 7 minutes per day.

2. What is the average time Rick spent on homework over the week?
3. How does the change from Tuesday to Wednesday compare to other days?
4. What would be the cumulative time Rick spent from Sunday to Thursday?
5. Can you determine which day had the least time spent on homework?

Tip: To calculate the rate of change, always look at the difference in values over the change in time (or distance, etc.) between two points.
