Question

Find the rate of change

Answer 1

“Rate of change” means the same as “slope.”

In algebra, we use the word "slope" to describe how steep a line

is and slope can be found using the ratio rise/run between

any two points that are on that line.

Starting from the point that has the coordinate (-1, -1),

we rise go 1 unit down so our rise is -1 and run 3 units.

So our slope or rise/run is -1/3.
