triciaal · Answer

rate of change is the slope of the line. 
compare how the dependent variable changes as the independent variable changes over the same period

triciaal · Answer

math just take practice and you are learning this as the foundation for higher level work.
same principle as learning to crawl before you can walk then run.
you were not born eating steak and potatoes
higher level math is fun  (sad when it is forgotten)
keep practicing!!
