Question

Enter the difference between the rates of change for these two functions.

Answer 1

.

Explanation:

Graph :

Choose any two points. (0 , 2) and (-1 , -2)

Rate of change = Change in y ÷ Change in x

`= (y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))\\\\= (-2 - 2)/(-1 - 0)\\\\= (-4)/(-1)\\\\= 4`

Table:

Rate of change =
`(-2-[-6])/(2-0)`

`= (-2+6)/(2)\\\\= (4)/(2)\\\\= 2`
