Question

function is shown on the coordinate plane below. Identify the rate of change of the function

Answer 1

Answer: The rate of change is 1

According to the graph, the given points are (3, 0) and (0, -3)

Point A = (3, 0)

Point B = (0, -3)

Rate of change = slope

Slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Let x1 = 3, y1 = 0, x2 = 0 and y2 = -3

Slope = -3 - 0 / 0 - 3

Slope = -3 / -3

Slope = 1

Therefore, rate of change is 1
