Use the table to answer the question.
x 2.6, 3.2
y −6, 3
Determine the rate of change of the linear function given as a table of values. (1 point) Responses m=0.067 m equals 0.067 m=15 m equals 15 m=−15 m equals negative 15 m=−5
To determine the rate of change of the linear function given as a table of values, we need to calculate the difference in the y-values divided by the difference in the x-values.
For the first set of values (2.6, -6) and (3.2, 3):
The difference in the y-values is 3 - (-6) = 9.
The difference in the x-values is 3.2 - 2.6 = 0.6.
Therefore, the rate of change is 9/0.6 = 15.
The correct response is m = 15.
