Use the image to answer the question.

Five points are plotted on a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from negative 2 to 7 in increments of 1. The y-axis ranges from negative 2 to 15 in increments of 1.

What is the rate of change in the graph?

(1 point)

To determine the rate of change in a graph, we typically look for the slope of a line between two points. The slope (rate of change) is calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{slope} = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]

Since I don't have access to an image, I can't provide the specific values of the points plotted on the coordinate plane. However, you can use the above formula to calculate the rate of change using the coordinates of any two points from the plotted graph.

  1. Identify the coordinates of two points on the graph, which we'll call \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\).
  2. Substitute these coordinates into the slope formula to find the rate of change.

If you provide the coordinates of the points plotted on the coordinate plane, I can help you calculate the rate of change.
