Question

What is the rate of change of the line on the graph

Answer 1

Answer:

A. ¼

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change (m) = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Using two points on the line, (4, 1) and (-4, -1), find the rate of change using the formula stated above:

Where,

$(4, 1) = (x_1, y_1)$

$(-4, -1) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

Rate of change (m) = $\frac{-1 - 1}{-4 - 4}$

= $\frac{-2}{-8}$

= $\frac{1}{4}$

Rate of change = ¼
