The rate of change of a linear equation (first degree) is equivalent to the slope of a line. Slope is described as the vertical movement (rise) of the line over its horizontal counterpart (run). In determining the rate of change or slope (m) given 1 data point (x',y'), point-slope form is applicable. Point-slope form is: (y-y') = m (x-x'). Substitute the given point (-5,-1) in the equation. By substitution, [y-(-1)] = m [x-(-5)]. Re-arranging the equation, the rate of change or slope is, m = (y+1)/(x+5).
Step-by-step explanation:
∫₀² x f(x²) dx
If u = x², then du = 2x dx, and ½ du = x dx.
When x = 0, u = 0. When x = 2, u = 4.
∫₀⁴ ½ f(u) du
½ (16)

Check the picture below, you can pretty much count the units off the grid for the length and width.
recall area = length * width.
