To calculate the rate of change of a function $f$, we need to know the formula:

$\text{Rate of change} = \frac{\text{Change in } y}{\text{Change in } x} = \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}$

From the numbers you provided, it seems like a set of data points, but I need clarification on how these values are organized. Typically, you'd have pairs like $(x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2), \ldots$.

Could you confirm whether these are the $x$-values and the corresponding $f(x)$-values, or if you want me to assume any particular structure for them?

Once I know that, I can compute the rate of change for you.

Let me know if you'd like further details! Here are some related questions:

1. What is the slope of a linear function?
2. How do you calculate the rate of change between two points on a line?
3. What is the difference between average rate of change and instantaneous rate of change?
4. How can the rate of change be interpreted in real-world contexts (e.g., speed)?
5. How would you calculate the rate of change for a quadratic function?

Tip: The rate of change is equivalent to the slope of the line when the data points form a straight line.
