Answer 2

Answer:

The rate of change of a linear function = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a linear function includes the points (2, 3) and (6, 8).

So we have the points

• (2, 3)

• (6, 8)

We know that the rate of change of a function is also termed as the slope of the function.

In other words, the slope of the linear function gives us the rate of change of the linear function.

Thus,

Determining the rate of change or slope between (2, 3) and (6, 8)

• (x₁, y₁) = (2, 3)

• (x₂, y₂) = (6, 8)

Using the formula

Rate of change = Slope =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

                                       =  [8 - 3 / [6 - 2]

                                       = 5 / 4

Thus, the rate of change of a linear function = 5/4
