A construction worker built steps up to a home. The table shows the linear relationship between the height off the ground in inches and the number of steps. Number of Steps Height (inches) What is the rate of change of height off the ground with respect to the number of steps?
To determine the rate of change of the height off the ground with respect to the number of steps, we need to find the slope of the linear relationship between the two variables.
Looking at the table, we can see that the height increases by 4 inches for every extra step. This means that for each additional step, the height off the ground increases by 4 inches.
Therefore, the rate of change of height off the ground with respect to the number of steps is 4 inches per step.
