how do you find the rate of a graph

1 answer

To find the rate of a graph, you need to determine the slope or gradient of the graph at a specific point or over a specific interval.

1. Determine the two points on the graph between which you want to find the rate.
2. Calculate the change in the dependent variable (y-axis) and the change in the independent variable (x-axis) between the two points.
3. Divide the change in y by the change in x to find the rate of change or slope of the graph.

If you want to find the instantaneous rate of change at a specific point on the graph, you can find the derivative of the function represented by the graph.
