Question

What is the rate of change of the linear relationship modeled in the table?

x y
1 2
3 5
5 8
7 11
(4 points)


a) negative three over two
b) two over three
c) 1
d) three over two

Answer 1

3/2 is your answer!

Answer 2

The correct answer is 3/2.

Slope = Rate Of Change

Slope Formula: y₂ - y₁ 5 - 2 3
-------------- = ---------- = -----
x₂ - x₁ 3 - 1 2

I hope that this helps you!

Btw, ₁ and ₂ are subscripts, they do not have anything to do with the actual working of the problem.
