Answer:
A. ¼
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of change (m) = [tex] \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex]
Using two points on the line, (4, 1) and (-4, -1), find the rate of change using the formula stated above:
Where,
[tex] (4, 1) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]
[tex] (-4, -1) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]
Plug in the values
Rate of change (m) = [tex] \frac{-1 - 1}{-4 - 4} [/tex]
= [tex] \frac{-2}{-8} [/tex]
= [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
Rate of change = ¼
