Answer:
When we have a function f(x) = y.
The rate of change between a and b (where a < b) is:
R = (f(b) - f(a))/(b - a)
In this case:
b = 3
a = 1
f(3) = 127
f(1) = 95
R = (127 - 95)/(3 - 1) = 16
The rate of change in that interval is 16.
A line segment has two endpoints unlike a line where a line is infinite with no end! :) Think of a line segment essentially just being two points on a line. :)
The relationship for this function is linear love
