Step-by-step explanation:
the rate of change is officially
(f(x2) - f(x1)) / (x2 - x1)
but for a line function (as we have here) this is totally easy : it is the slope of the line.
and that means it is the factor of x.
in our case this is -3/2.
because the slope of a line is the ratio "y coordinate change / x coordinate change". and that is exactly corresponding to the general rate of change definition above.
(x+17)(x+17)=
I believe this is what you are looking for friend
(X + .3X) / (X - 0.5X) = 1.3X/0.5X
1.3/0.5 = 2.6
2.6 x 100 = 260 %
