To find the rate of change, we need to calculate the change in y-values (parking charges) divided by the change in x-values (time in hours).
The change in y-values is 16 - 10 = 6.
The change in x-values is 5 - 1 = 4.
Therefore, the rate of change is 6/4 = 1.5.
The units for this rate of change would be the change in parking charges per hour or $/hour.
A parking garage charges the rate in the table below. What is the rate of change? Don’t forget your units.
