Question

What ratio is used to find the rate of change or slope of a linear function?

Answer 1

The slope of a linear function is given by the ratio change in y/change in x.

Step-by-step explanation: its the exact anwser from edmentum

Answer 2

y2- y1 /×2-×1 is the equation for slope.
Find 2 points on the graph that land on exact points, ex (5,1), (2,-2)
To find slope, -2-1 /2-5
Slope = -3 / -3 = 1
