What is the rate of change of the linear relationship modeled in the table? x y −2 5 −1 4 0 3 1 2 −2 −1 negative one over two 1
@Jhannybean
hint: notice the pattern in the y-values
@Vocaloid the ones missing im guessing
uh, that's not quite what I meant the y values change by a certain amount each time, can you tell me what the pattern is?
5 −1 4 0 3 1 2
x y −2 5 −1 4 0 3 1 2
again, that's not quite what I meant.... the y values change by a certain amount, what is this amount?
i dont get it @Vocaloid
well, tell me this, do the y-values increase or decrease?
increasing @Vocaloid
are you sure? look at how the y-values change, going down the table...
oh yea sorry i went up @Vocaloid
so, do the y-values increase or decrease?
decrease @Vocaloid
correct, the numbers are decreasing, so we know our rate of change must be negative now, how much does each y-value decrease by, compared to the previous value?
1 @Vocaloid
right, so our rate of change must be -1
thank you sm @Vocaloid i was stuck on that for a little minute
can you help me with something else @Vocaloid
sure
