Question

10 Y What is the vertical change from Point A to Point B? 9 8 What is the horizontal change from Point A to Point B? 7 6 What is the rate of change shown on the graph? Give the answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth, if necessary 5 4 3 3 B 2 A 1 X 1 . 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Answer 1

0.5

Explanation:

From the graph given ;

The vertical distance ; y - axis :

(y2 - y1) ; y2 = 2 ; y1 = 1

y2 - y1 = 2 - 1 = 1

The horizontal distance ; the x - axis :

(x2 - x1) ; x2 = 4 ; x1 = 2

x2 - x1 = 4 - 2 = 2

The slope ; the rate of change :

Change in y / change in x

The rate of change ;

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = 1 / 2
