Question

Can you find the rate of change for the following function: -6x + 3y =9?​

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

The slope m is a measure of the rate of change of the function.

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

- 6x + 3y = 9 ( add 6x to both sides )

3y = 6x + 9 ( divide terms by 3 )

y = 2x + 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Rate of change is therefore 2

Answer 2

The general rate of change can be found by using the difference quotient formula. To find the average rate of change over an interval, enter a function with an interval:

f ( x ) = x ^2 , [ 2 , 3 ]

The rate of Change is 2
