Question

Create a linear function that has a rate of change of 7. After you have written the function equation, write an explanation of why your function has a rate of range of 7. If it helps, include a table of values

Answer 1

Papaju, this is the solution:

Let's recall the formula of the rate of change:

Rate of change = Change in y/ Change in x

In consequence,

Rate of change = 7/1

Rate of change = 7

Where the function equation is:

y = 7x

This can be represented in the following table

x y

_____________

1 7

2 14

3 21

4 28

5 35
