The rate of change in this scenario varies.
From 1 to 3, the rate of change is -2.
From 3 to 6, the rate of change is -3.
From 6 to 7, the rate of change is -1.
So the rate of change is not constant and varies between each pair of numbers.
1 - 21
3 -15
6 - 6
7 - 3
From 1 to 3, the rate of change is -2.
From 3 to 6, the rate of change is -3.
From 6 to 7, the rate of change is -1.
So the rate of change is not constant and varies between each pair of numbers.
From (1, 21) to (3, 15):
Rate of change = (15-21) / (3-1) = -6 / 2 = -3
From (3, 15) to (6, 6):
Rate of change = (6-15) / (6-3) = -9 / 3 = -3
From (6, 6) to (7, 3):
Rate of change = (3-6) / (7-6) = -3 / 1 = -3
Therefore, the rate of change in all cases is -3. The rate of change is constant in this context.
5 - 20
7 - 28
11 - 44
14 - 56
From (5, 20) to (7, 28):
Rate of change = (28-20) / (7-5) = 8 / 2 = 4
From (7, 28) to (11, 44):
Rate of change = (44-28) / (11-7) = 16 / 4 = 4
From (11, 44) to (14, 56):
Rate of change = (56-44) / (14-11) = 12 / 3 = 4
Therefore, the rate of change between each pair of numbers is 4. The rate of change is constant in this case.
(-3,5) - (9,-5)
Rate of change = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
= (-5 - 5) / (9 - (-3))
= (-10) / 12
= -10 / 12
= -5 / 6
Therefore, the rate of change between the points (-3, 5) and (9, -5) is -5/6.
(0,50)
(1,150)
(2,250)
(3,350)
(4,450)
From (0, 50) to (1, 150):
Rate of change = (150 - 50) / (1 - 0) = 100
From (1, 150) to (2, 250):
Rate of change = (250 - 150) / (2 - 1) = 100
From (2, 250) to (3, 350):
Rate of change = (350 - 250) / (3 - 2) = 100
From (3, 350) to (4, 450):
Rate of change = (450 - 350) / (4 - 3) = 100
Therefore, the rate of change between each pair of consecutive points is 100. The rate of change is constant in this case.
y=3.75+1.5(x-1)
Comparing the given equation y = 3.75 + 1.5(x-1) to the slope-intercept form, we can see that the equation represents a line with a slope of 1.5 and a y-intercept of 3.75.
Therefore, the rate of change for this equation is 1.5. This means that for every unit increase in x (independent variable), the dependent variable y increases by 1.5 units.
