Question

What is the rate of change of the function? On a coordinate plane, a line with negative slope goes through points (0, 1) and (1, negative 1). –2 Negative one-half One-half 2 Mark this and return

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

slope: (y² - y¹) / (x² - x¹)

(-1 - 1) / (1 - 0) = -2 / 1 = -2

y = -2x + b

plug in an (x, y) value to find b

1 = -2(0) + b

1 = -2 + b

b = 3

y = -2x + 3

rate of change is -2
