Question

What is the rate of change for this set of ordered pairs?

Answer 1

The rate of change for that set of ordered pairs would be 3 because the slope is 3. If this were a word problem, the answer would be 3 units per unit of time. ($3 per hour)

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line passes through two points, then the rate of change is

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Consider any two ordered pairs from the given table.

Let line passes through (0,6) and (2,12).

$m=\dfrac{12-6}{2-0}$

$m=\dfrac{6}{2}$

$m=3$

The rate of change for this set of ordered pairs is 3.

Hence, he correct option is B.
