Which of the following best approximates the average rate of change in the annual budget for agriculture, natural resources in Kansas, from 2008 to 2010. Okay, so they're asking us to look at the average rate. And remember, average rate, or rate is just another way of saying slope, which is just another way of saying the change in one thing divided by the change in another. So let's look at what these two changes are. So they're pointing us to Agriculture and Natural Resources. So right here, from 2008 to 2010, so from 2008, to 2010.
And we want to essentially look at the change in the annual budget divided by the change in number of years, so that's going to be 488,106 minus 358,708 divided by 2010 minus 2000. Eight which is just two years. So if you do that, and I'm gonna write it down, down here, just because I have some space, you will get the following here, you'll get 129,398 divided by two, which should give you 64,699. Now, that's not quite your answer, because remember, says down here that the annual budget listed above is in thousands of dollars. So you have to basically just add three more zeros. And if you do that, there is my three more zeros, the one answer that looks closest to this.
Well, that's just be 65 million. That is a whole lot of money.
