Question

PLZ HELP only got 30 minutes left will brainliest. What is the rate of change of the function? –2 --1/2 1/2 2

Answer 1

The answer is -2! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

$-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate of change of a function, we are looking for it's slope.

We can find the slope of a line by seeing it's rise over run.

Basically - how much the line's y increases divided by how much the line's x increases.

We can see that the y drops from 1 to -1 in 1 x value. This means the change in y is $1 - (-1) = 2$, however in this case it is -2 as we are dropping.

The change in x is 1 .

This means that the slope (rate of change) is $\frac{-2}{1} = -2$.

Hope this helped!
