Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is described by the the initial and final value of one quantity over the difference between the initial and final of the other
Rate: for points on a Cartesian plane,(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
the slope, m= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
The rate of change on the other hand is mostly refers to how much a quantity is changing with time i.e the rate of change of y from y1 to y2 can be expressed as
rate = (y2 - y1)/(t2 - t1)...where t1 and t2 are the various time in y1 and y2 respectively...
Maybe pay attention in school ♂️
"The sum of the number 'n' and 31" . . . . . (n + 31)
"17 times the sum" . . . . . 17(n + 31)
The equation . . . . . 17(n + 31) = 357
8/(9/6)
(8/1)/(9/6)
(8/1)*(6/9)
48/9
5 1/3
