What is the rate of a graph?
The rate of a graph refers to the slope or steepness of the line connecting the points on the graph. It is a measure of how quickly the dependent variable (y-axis) changes with respect to the independent variable (x-axis). The rate can be positive, negative, or zero, indicating the direction and magnitude of the change.
If the coordinates were (4, -6) what would be the rate?
To determine the rate, we would need at least two points on the graph. With just one point, we cannot calculate the slope or rate of change.
It starts at (0, 0)
And ends at (5, -6)
What is the rate?
To calculate the rate or slope between the points (0, 0) and (5, -6), we can use the formula:
Rate = (change in y-coordinate) / (change in x-coordinate)
In this case, the change in y-coordinate is -6 - 0 = -6, and the change in x-coordinate is 5 - 0 = 5.
So, the rate (slope) between these two points is:
Rate = -6 / 5 = -1.2
Therefore, the rate is -1.2. This means that for every 1 unit increase in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate decreases by 1.2 units.
Wrong
Apologies for the confusion. To calculate the rate, we need to use the formula:
Rate = (change in y-coordinate) / (change in x-coordinate)
Using the points (0, 0) and (5, -6), the change in y-coordinate is -6 - 0 = -6, and the change in x-coordinate is 5 - 0 = 5.
So, the rate (slope) between these two points is:
Rate = -6 / 5 = -1.2
Therefore, the rate is -1.2. This means that for every 1 unit increase in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate decreases by 1.2 units.
The Point meets at (2, -3) and ends at (5, -6)
My apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's calculate the rate or slope between the points (2, -3) and (5, -6).
The change in y-coordinate is -6 - (-3) = -6 + 3 = -3, and the change in x-coordinate is 5 - 2 = 3.
So, the rate (slope) between these two points is:
Rate = (-3) / 3 = -1
Therefore, the rate is -1. This means that for every 1 unit increase in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate decreases by 1 unit.
