Question

What is the rate of change of the function y, equals, minus, one quarter, x, plus, 1y=−
4
1
​
x+1?

Answer 1

The rate of change of a function is the slope of its graph. In this case, we can see that the function is in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So, the rate of change (slope) of the function y = -1/4x + 1 is -1/4.
