Question

Find the rate of change of the linear function from the point (0,8) to the point (24,4)

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

-1/6

Explanation:

The slope (rate of change) is given by ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (4 -8)/(24 -0) = -4/24 = -1/6

The rate of change of the linear function is -1/6.

_____

The equation is y = -1/6x +8.
