Question

What is the rate of change of the linear relationship modeled in the table? (4 points) x y −2 5 −1 4 0 3 1 2 a −2 b −1 c negative one over two d 1

Answer 1

rate of change=slope= y2-y1/x2-x1

Explanation:

x: -2|-1|0|1

y : 5|4|3|2

so choose 2 ordered pairs. in this case, we will choose (-2,5) and (-1,4)

now we plug them in:
`(4-5)/(-1-(-2))`

4-5=-1

-1-(-2)=1

so -1/1 is equal to -1, meaning it's answer option b.
