Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of change is another term for the slope.
rate of change = slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
<u>Function A:</u>
y = mx + b (m = slope)
y = 4x - 3
Function A has a slope of 4.
The rate of change for function A is 4.
<u>Function B:</u>
Take two points.
(-1, 0) and (1, 4)
slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
slope = (4 -0)/(1 - -1)
slope = 4/2 = 2
The rate of change for function B is 2.
