To find slope between two given points:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Find the difference between the first two points
12-9.5/2-1 = 2.5/1 = 2.5
14.5-12/3-2 = 2.5/1 = 2.5
17-14.5/4-3 = 2.5/1 = 2.5
The rate of change between each point is 2.5
The rate of change for given data is 2.5 units per unit inputs.
(1,9.5), (2,12), (3,14.5), (4,17)
The difference between the output values can be calculated as:
12 - 9.5 = 2.5
14.5 - 12 = 2.5
17 - 14.5 = 2.5
This growth is constant per unit. As the input grows with 1 unit, the output grows with 2.5 units.
Thus, the rate of change for given data is 2.5 units per unit inputs.
