Answer 2

Answer:

Rate of change = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line passes through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$, then the rate of change of the line is

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

From the given graph it is clear that the line passes through the points (1,-1) and (2,4).

Using the above formula, the slope of the line is

$m=\frac{4-(-1)}{2-1}$

$m=\frac{4+1}{1}$

$m=\frac{5}{1}$

$m=5$

Therefore, the rate of change of given line is 5.
