It's basically the slope.

so remember the table...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A function is a process by which every input is associated with exactly one output. When create a process (or series of steps) to do a certain task we are often creating a function. If we want to use it over and over again then to make our lives easier we give it a name. It helps us remember the name when it has something to do with the process that is being described.

The Average Rate of Change function describes the average rate at which one quanity is changing with respect to something else changing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are already familiar with some average rate of change calculations: (a) Miles per gallon - calculated by dividing the number of miles by the number of gallons used (b) Cost per killowatt - calculated by dividing the cost of the electricity by the number of killowatts used (c) Miles per hour - calculated by dividing the numebr of miles traveled by the number of hours it takes to travel them.

so in the table, what do i do to get the average rate of change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answers101, anything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y1/x1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Even if the rate of change in y(x) varies over an interval, the average rate of change is the total change in y divided by the total change in x.
