Question

7)The graph and the table shown each represent adifferent linear function. What is the difference in Rates of Change for the two functions? x y 0 -3 4 -6 8 -9 12 -12 Graph Rate of Change: __________ Table Rate of Change: ___________ Difference in Rates of Change: ____

Answer 1

Explanation:

The rate of change of graph = its slope

= 4/6 = 2/3.

Table rate of change = (-6 - (-3)) / (4-0)

= -3/4.

Difference = 2/3 - (-3/4) = 17/12.
