Question

What is the rate of change between the two order pairs (3,6) and (5,7) ?

2
1/2
-2
4​

Answer 1

Option B : 1/2 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given ordered pairs are;

(3, 6) and (5, 7).

We have to find the rate of change which is also known as slope.

Slope is the steepness of a line.

The formula of slope is given by;

m =
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

m =
`(7-6)/(5-3)`

m =
`(1)/(2)`

Hence,

Option B : 1/2 is the correct answer.
