jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

one way is to think of speed Example: if you move 10 feet in 2 seconds, then the rate of change (aka speed) is 10/2 = 5 feet per second. Basically in one second, you move 5 feet

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

average rate of change is one form of "rate of change" instantaneous rate of change is another form of it

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

ok so average rate of change is............i dont get it..aaww

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

is it like the slope of the line ??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let's say that at t = 2 seconds, you are y = 100 feet from home then at t = 4 seconds, you are y = 200 feet from home what is the average rate of change from t = 2 to t = 4?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes average rate of change is the slope of the secant line
