what is the rate of change between (5,3) and (6,3)

Question

Please help me! I'm failing math so badly this year and need the extra help. thank you.

Answer 1

The rate of change between two points, (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂), is equal to the slope of the line connecting the two points. The slope formula is:

slope = (y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)

Plug the x and y values from your two points into the formula and compute the answer. It doesn't matter which points you choose for (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂); you'll get the same answer.
