Math Problem Statement
Find the rate of change using the graph.
Solution
To find the rate of change from the graph, we can treat the graph as a collection of points and use the formula for slope (rate of change), which is:
From the image, we can extract two points from the graph:
Now, let's calculate the rate of change (slope):
Thus, the rate of change is -2.
Would you like further details or clarification on this? Here are five related questions:
- How do you calculate the slope of a line between any two points?
- What is the interpretation of a negative rate of change in this graph?
- How does the steepness of the slope affect the rate of change?
- Can you explain what happens to the graph if the slope is 0?
- How would the rate of change differ if the points were reversed?
Tip: The rate of change represents how quickly one variable changes with respect to another, and a negative rate of change indicates a downward trend.
