the table below gives the cost per person to buy tickets to an upcoming concert. find the rate of change.
people
2,3,4,5
cost $
148,222,296,370
74/1
148/1
1/222
1/74
To find the rate of change, we need to determine the slope of the line that represents the relationship between the number of people and the cost of the tickets. The slope (rate of change) can be calculated using the formula:
Slope = (Change in y) / (Change in x)
Let's calculate the changes in y and x:
Change in y = 222 - 148 = 74
Change in x = 3 - 2 = 1
Now we can calculate the rate of change:
Slope = (74) / (1) = 74/1 = 74
Therefore, the rate of change is 74.
