Question

What is the rate of change of the linear relationship modeled in the table?

x y
–2 5
–1 4
0 3
1 2
( 4 points)

A) –2
B) –1
C) negative one over two
D) 1

Answer 1

How far does y change every time x changes by 1?

Answer 2

they are asking for the "slope"
change in y divided by change in x

pick any two (x,y) pairs, and find the slope between those two points
