Answer:
No because the <em><u>x</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>value</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>does</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>not</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>change</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>by</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>1</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>everytime</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>the</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>y</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>value</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>changes</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>by</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>5</u></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of Change = Slope
If the slope was 5, the the point on the graph would be on the coordinate (1,5)
<em>However</em><em>,</em><em> </em>the graph provided does NOT show 5 as being the slope because the line does not go through 0 and the <em><u>x value does not change by 1 everytime y changes by 5.</u></em>
If it did, however, it would look something like this picture.
