Question

What is the rate of change seen in the graph below?

Answer 1

The rate of change is -1/2

Using the pair of points :

• (-6, 3 ) ; (0, 0)

The rate of change is:

• Change in y / Change in x

Now we have:

Rate of change = (0 - 3) / (0 - (-6))

Rate of change = -3/6 = -1/2

Hence, the rate of change is -1/2
