Question

2y-12x=36
How do I find the rate of change

Answer 1

make it so x and y are on different sides to it becomes y=mx+k

2y=12x + 36

y=6x +18

the rate of change will be 6x

Answer 2

The rate of change of the equation is 6.

Explanation:

Given : Equation
`2y-12x=36`

To find : The rate of change ?

Solution :

In the equation
`y=mx+c` the rate of change is the slope of the equation i.e. m.

Write the equation in general form.

`2y-12x=36`

`2y=12x+36`

`y=(12x+36)/(2)`

`y=6x+18`

The value of m is 6.

The rate of change of the equation is 6.
