Question

What is the rate of change between (-8,- 8) and (0,8)

Answer 1

${ \qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}}$

We need to find thr rate of change (slope) of the line joining these two points ~

$\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: m = \dfrac{rise}{run}$

$\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: m = \cfrac{8 - ( - 8)}{0 - ( - 8)}$

$\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: m = \cfrac{8 + 8}{0 + 8}$

$\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: m = \cfrac{16}{8}$

$\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: m = 2$

Slope of the line (m) joining the two points is 2 ~
