The rate of change refers to the rate at which the independent variable is changing as the dependent variable changes. You will find the independent variable on the y-axis and the dependent variable on the x-axis.
Then, pick two points.You will sub them into the equation.

rate of change = (y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))
