Question

Determine whether A or B has the greater rate of change.

Answer 1

We determine their rate of change as follows:

*A:

`r=(-3-0)/(-2-(-5))\Rightarrow r=-1`

*B:

`r=(4-1)/(2-(-1))\Rightarrow r=1`

*We determine the rate of change of each by doing the same procedure as finding the slope, but with the furthest away point, from this, we have that B has a greater rare of change.
