Use the table to answer the question.

Question

X Y
2.6 - 6
3.2 3
Determine the rate of change of the linear function given as a table of values.
(1 point)

Answer 1

The rate of change can be calculated by finding the difference in Y values and dividing it by the difference in X values.

For the given table:
Difference in Y values = 3 - (-6) = 9
Difference in X values = 3.2 - 2.6 = 0.6

Rate of change = Difference in Y values / Difference in X values
Rate of change = 9 / 0.6 = 15

So, the rate of change of the linear function is 15.
