Examine the table, which represents a linear function.
What is the rate of change of the function?
Input (x) Output (y)
-5 18
−3 23
−1 28
1 33


Answer :

Answer:

I believe it should be 3 23

Answer:

  2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change can be found from the slope formula.

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

Using the first two lines of the table, we find ...

  m = (23 -18)/(-3 -(-5)) = 5/2

The rate of change of the function is 5/2 = 2.5.
