Question

The table represents a linear function. The rate of change between the points (–5, 10) and (–4, 5) is –5. What is the rate of change between the points (–3, 0) and (–2, –5)? x y –5 10 –4 5 –3 0 –2 –5

Answer 1

the anser is -5

Explanation:

you better get 100 now good luck

Answer 2

=-5

Explanation:

The rate of change, the slope, can be found by using the formula for calculating the slope given two points on the line directly.... However what I like to do is just like up the points and subtract then put 2nd difference over first difference.

(-3 , 0)

-(-2 , -5)

------------

-1 5

So the slope is 5/-1 which is just -5
