Question

Find the rate of change and interpret the rate of change.

Answer 1

The rate of change is 10 seeds for every apple.

Explanation:

The rate of change is defined as the ratio between how much the dependent variable changes and how much the independent variable changes.

In this case, the dependent variable is the number of seeds and the independent variable is the number of apples.

This means that the rate of change is
`m=(\Delta x)/(\Delta y)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(70-30)/(7-3)=(40)/(4)=10`, or 10 seeds for every apple.

Answer 2

11 + 4 = 15

Explanation:

seed 1 =10

changes =

3 + 4=7

17+4=11

11 + 4 = 15
