Question

What is the rate of change

Answer 1

Slope = 0

Explanation:

Let's use the equation
`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)` for this problem.

We have two points: (2,0) and (-2, 0)

Let's plug them both into the equation shown above.

`(0 - 0)/(-2 - 2)`

Solve.

0 - 0 = 0

-2 - 2 = -4

`(0)/(-4)` =
`-(0)/(4)` = 0

A zero in the numerator means this equation has a slope of 0.

Any line with a slope of 0 is a horizontal line.

Slope (rate of change) = 0
