Question

1) What is the rate of change of a line that passes 2)
through (-2, 5) and (1,4)?

Answer 1

`(-1)/(3)`

Explanation:

The rate of change is the slope. It is the change in y over the change in x

The y values are 4 and 5.

The x values are 1 and -2

`(4-5)/(1 - -2)` =
`(-1)/(1+2)` =
`(-1)/(3)`
