__________________________ allows you to see the relationship between two quantities
that are changing. If one quantity depends on the other, you can find rate of change
by using this formula:
Rate of Change = ___________
Use the data in the table to the left to answer the following:
1. Does cost depend on the number of days?
2. Is the change from one x value to the next the same for each consecutive day?
_______
3. What is the change from one x value to the next? _______
4. Is the change from one y value to the next the same for each consecutive day?
_______
5. What is the change from one y value to the next? ________
6. Rate of change = Change in ____ / Change in ____ =
7. It costs $______ for each day a computer is rented after the first day.
The rate of change in the following table is constant. Find the rate of change.
You can also use a graph to find a rate of change. Recall that the x variable (called
the _____________________ variable) is plotted on the horizontal axis and the y
variable (also called the ________________________ variable) is plotted on the vertical axis.
