Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation: This is because the slope can be defined as the
(changein yvalues)/(changeinxvalues). It is the ratio of vertical (y) and horizontal changes (x) between two points. Rate of change of a function compares these two changes. Speed is essentially the rate at which the position of an object changes, so they are essentially all the same.
