Question

What is the rate of change of the function y
- 2 x – 52

Answer 1

The rate of change is -2

Explanation:

Given

`y = -2x - 52`

Required

The rate of change

The slope intercept of a fuction is:

`y =mx + b`

Where

`m \to` rate of change

So, by comparison;
`y = -2x - 52` and
`y =mx + b`

`m = -2`
