Answer: The slope is. -1/2, and the answers would be: The slope (rate of change) means that for every 20 minutes that Joseph is driving, he has 10 fewer mile remaining to get to work.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the slope we need to to subtract y sub. 2- y sub. 1 over x sub 2 - x sub 1 that would be 52-62=-10, and 40-20=20. -10/20=-1/2.
