Question

Can you help me Identify the rate of change of the function? May you explain it in rise over run format as well? It looks like this: Rise/Run =change in y/change in x

Answer 1

A rate of change is a rate that describes how one quantity changes in relation to another quantity.

From the graphs, we have the following points: (0,5) and (2,2).

$rateofchange=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{5-2}{0-2}=\frac{3}{-2}=-1.5$
