Question

Whats the rate of change for (0,3) and (2,-5)

Answer 1

• 
  `\boxed{\sf{-4}}`

Explanation:

Solve a slope using a rate of change.

Slope:

`\sf{(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(rise)/(run) }`

⇒ y2=(-5)

⇒ y1=3

⇒ x2=2

⇒ x1=0

Rewrite the problem down.

⇒ (-5)-3/2-0

Solve.

⇒ -8/2

Divide.

⇒ -8/2=-4

• Therefore the slope is -4, which is our answer.
