Question

Find the rate of change of the linear function from the point (0,8) to the point (16,12)

Answer 1

¼

Explanation:

Rate of change is the slope

m = (12-8)/(16-0) = 4/16 = 1/4

Answer 2

1/4

Explanation:

The rate of change is

(y2-y1)

------------

(x2-x1)

We know the points so we can substitute them into the equation.

(12-8)

-----------

16-0

4/16

Simplify

1/4
