Front

What is the rate of change?

Back

The rate of change is a measure of how much a quantity changes in relation to another quantity. It is often represented as the slope of a line in a graph.

Front

What is slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the rise over the run between two points on the line.

Front

How do you calculate the rate of change from a table?

Back

To calculate the rate of change from a table, find the difference in the dependent variable (y) and divide it by the difference in the independent variable (x) between two points.

Front

What does a positive rate of change indicate?

Back

A positive rate of change indicates that as the independent variable increases, the dependent variable also increases.

Front

What does a negative rate of change indicate?

Back

A negative rate of change indicates that as the independent variable increases, the dependent variable decreases.

Front

If the rate of change is 4, what does this mean?

Back

This means that for every unit increase in the independent variable, the dependent variable increases by 4 units.

Front

What is the formula for calculating slope?

Back

The formula for calculating slope (m) is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

Front

What is a table in mathematics?

Back

A table in mathematics is a systematic arrangement of data, usually in rows and columns, that helps to organize and analyze information.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in real-world applications?

Back

The slope can represent rates of change in various contexts, such as speed, cost per item, or growth rates.

Front

How can you identify the rate of change from a graph?

Back

The rate of change can be identified by calculating the slope of the line on the graph.
