Question

What is the constant rate of change in the function y=5x? *

a.1/5
b.x
c.5
d.1

Answer 1

Answer: c. 5

This is the same as the slope because this is a linear equation

y = 5x is the same as y = 5x+0 which compares to y = mx+b

m = 5 is the slope = rate of change

b = 0 is the y intercept = starting amount
