Question

What is the rate if change for y = x - 4

Answer 1

Rate of Change = 1

Explanation:

Rate of Change = Slope = m

y = mx + b

y = (1)x -4

m = 1

Answer 2

The rate of change is 1

Explanation:

This is because the slope is x, and -4 is just the y-intercept, which has nothing to do with the slope. Because the slope is x, that means that it is positive 1.
