(0,6)(40,2)
rate of change (slope) = (2-6) / (40 - 0)
slope = -4/40
slope = -1/10 per minute
Hey there, 

Lets solve this problem together. 

We know that a six-ounce paper cup has a hole in the bottom and leaks water. If it was originally full and has only two ounces after 40 minutes.
 
[tex](0,6)(40,2) (slope) = (2-6) / (40 - 0) slope = -4/40 slope = -1/10 per minute[/tex]
