Cupcake World makes the best cupcakes of all kinds. The graph shows the relationship of cupcakes baked and additional cups of sugar used to bake the cupcakes.
What is the rate of change and what does it represent?
The rate of change is the slope of the line on the graph, which measures the change in cupcakes baked for each additional cup of sugar used to bake the cupcakes. It represents the efficiency or effectiveness of using sugar to bake cupcakes – a higher rate of change would indicate that fewer cups of sugar are needed to bake more cupcakes, while a lower rate of change would indicate that more cups of sugar are needed to bake the same number of cupcakes.
