Answer 1

The way they are having you do this, you will have a third column that computes rate of change so start by setting it up like this

Now once you have that, can you see how they calculated the first rate of change value?

Answer 3

oh okay, so i plug in my data to that graph?

Answer 4

yep go ahead do that first

Answer 5

then we can talk about rate of change

Answer 6

good, ok so now, we have a formula for rate of change, (it's the same as slope) Do you know the slope formula?

Answer 7

ok, it's no problem, so the slope formula is \[m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

Answer 8

m, is the slope or rate of change

Answer 9

x and y are just coordinates

Answer 10

so, immagine we number our list
