Answer 1

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use parentheses around the coordinates of your points:

(1, 4); (0.5, 3.5), etc.

If we go from (0.5, 3.5) to (1, 4), x increases by 0.5 and y increases by 0.5.  

Thus the slope is m = rise / run = 1/1 = 1.

This is the average rate of change for the sequence shown.
