Question

The table and equation represent different linear relationships. Which one has the greater rate of change? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

The equation y=4x-1 has a greater rate of change

Explanation:

to find rate of change for the table, you use
`(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )`

so,
`(-5-(-7))/(-2-(-3))` =
`(2)/(1)` = 2

So the rate of change for the table is 2 while the rate of change for the equation is 4. 4>2 so the equation has a greater rate of change.
