Question

@satellite73 the one you just helped me on I think gave me the equation for this one I think I have to find the equation based on the graph they gave me but since I can't show you the graph I'm looking at can you just give me an example on how i'd go about that?

find the slope

anonymous · Answer

look at the two points they are asking about, then find the slope of the line between them

ignore the curve, just compute 
$$\frac{10-5}{7-2}$$

anonymous · Answer

not sure if that helps, but it is the best i can do without an example

Yeah ^

Simply take two points on the line and use the slope formula. Rate-of-change is just slope.
