I think Rate of change =slope of ur line Right?

OpenStudy (imamermaid29):

OpenStudy (mathmale):

How would you know, from looking at a function, whether it has a positive rate of change or a negative one? I'd suggest you go through the whole list, examine the question and proceed from there to identify functions with positive rates of changes.

OpenStudy (imamermaid29):

OpenStudy (imamermaid29):
