Rate of Change

Rate of Change

I can find the rate of change in tables, graphs, and equations

Let's Review What We Learned

• ​The table below shows a linear relationship between the time that has passed since the candle was lit and the height of a candle.  What is the rate of change of the height of the candle with respect to time?

• ​height of the candle is the y-value

• ​time is the x-value

• ​Pick 2 points

• ​Find the Change in y

• ​Find the Change in x

• ​Divide the two values to find the rate of change (slope of the line).

Multiple Choice

When converting the equation

2x + 4y = 8

into slope-intercept form, the first step to solve for y would be to ____________.

• subtract 2x from each side

• subtract 4y from each side

• add 2x to each side

• add 4y to each side

Multiple Choice

After subtracting 2x from each side, the resulting equation is shown below:

2x + 4y = 8

4y = -2x + 8

The final step to solve for y would be to ____________.

• divide each term by 4

• divide each term by -4

• add 4 to each side

• subtract 4 from each side
