Question

What is the rate of change of the linear relationship modeled in the table?

X Y
1 2
3 5
5 8
7 11

A. -3/2
B. 2/3
C. 1
D. 3/2

Answer 1

D: 3/2

Explanation:

This is because on the Y side: It is gaining numbers by 3. On the x side it is gaining by 2. So it is 2/3. But you have to do Delta. Which now is 3/2 instead of 2/3. So to answer your question: The correct answer is hence D: 3/2.
