Finding the rate of change from a table

The video tutorial explains how to find the rate of change using a table. It begins with an introduction to the concept, emphasizing the importance of understanding how dependent (Y) values change in relation to independent (X) values. The tutorial then guides viewers through identifying changes in Y and X values, and calculating the rate of change by dividing the change in Y by the change in X. The example provided demonstrates a rate of change of 1/5, illustrating the process clearly.

What does the rate of change compare in a table?

• The change in X values to the change in Y values

• The change in Y values to the change in X values

• The difference between X and Y values

• The sum of X and Y values

How is finding the rate of change different from understanding the relationship between X and Y values?

• It considers only Y values

• It considers only X values

• It looks at how values change, not their relationship

• It focuses on the sum of values

In the example provided, how do the Y values change?

• They decrease by 2 units

• They increase by 1 unit

• They increase by 5 units

• They remain constant

What is the rate of change calculated in the example?

• 5/1

• 1/5

• 2/5

• 1/2

What is the significance of the rate of change in a table?

• It shows the relationship between X and Y values

• It indicates how Y values change relative to X values

• It measures the total sum of X and Y values

• It determines the constant value of Y
