Question

What is the rate of change

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the equation $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$ for this problem.

We have two points: (2,0) and (-2, 0)

Let's plug them both into the equation shown above.

$\frac{0 - 0}{-2 - 2}$

Solve.

0 - 0 = 0

-2 - 2 = -4

$\frac{0}{-4}$ = $-\frac{0}{4}$ = 0

A zero in the numerator means this equation has a slope of 0.

Any line with a slope of 0 is a horizontal line.

Slope (rate of change) = 0
