Question

This graph displays a linear function. Interpret the constant rate of change of the relationship.

Answer 1

Answer: -3/-1  or 3/1 is the rate of change

Step-by-step explanation:

(0,2)

(3,3)    0-3==-3  

          2-3= -1  

-3/-1

Answer 2

Answer:

The rate of change ( or slope) is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is y2-x2 over y1-x1. Easier terms: subtract two points from eachother, y being the numerator and x being denominator.  Two points on this graph are (2,0) and (3,3). When you put y on top, you get 0/2-3/3. The answer is -3/-1, which is equal to 3

A much easier way when you're graph looks like this, is to count the units up/down and right/left, putting the up/down number on top. Since it goes 3 up and 1 right, you get 3/1, or 3.
