Functions unit test question 5 use the table to answer the question x is 2 and 8 why is 22 and 25 determine the rate of change in the individual value of the linear function given here as a table of values the rate of change is m equals and the initial value is b

1 answer

To determine the rate of change in the individual value of the linear function, we need to use the formula for the slope of a line:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Given the table values, when x is 2, y is 22 and when x is 8, y is 25.

Let's plug these values into the formula:

m = (25 - 22) / (8 - 2)
m = 3 / 6
m = 0.5

Therefore, the rate of change in the individual value of the linear function is m = 0.5.
