For continuous functions, yes.
The rate of change is the same as the slope.
They are the same for a straight line but for any curve, the slope will change from point to point whereas the average rate of change (between two points) will remain the same.
The instantaneous rate change of the variable y with respect to x must be the slope of the line at the point represented by that instant. However, the rate of change of x, with respect to y will be different [it will be the x/y slope, not the y/x slope]. It will be the reciprocal of the slope of the line. Also, if you have a time-distance graph the slope is the rate of chage of distance, ie speed. But, there is also the rate of change of speed - the acceleration - which is not DIRECTLY related to the slope. It is the rate at which the slope changes! So the answer, in normal circumstances, is no: they are the same. But you can define situations where they can be different.
it is the same as the slope, which can be found either graphically (rise over run) or algebraically using the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Yes, a linear equation represents a straight line and has a constant slope throughout the entire line. The slope indicates the rate of change between the variables, meaning that for any two points on the line, the slope remains the same. Thus, all linear equations of the same form will have the same slope if their coefficients are consistent.
Yes, Rate of change is slope

The slope of a line is the same thing as the rate of change between two variables in a linear relationship.
Unit rate, slope, and rate of change are different names for the same thing. Unit rates and slopes (if they are constant) are the same thing as a constant rate of change.
The slope of a linear function is also a measure of how fast the function is increasing or decreasing. The only difference is that the slope of a straight line remains the same throughout the domain of the line.
Rate of change is essentially the same as the slope of a graph, that is change in y divided by change in x. If the graph is a straight-line, the slope can be easily calculated with the formula:Vertical change ÷ horizontal change = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
it is the same as the slope, which can be found either graphically (rise over run) or algebraically using the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Yes, a linear equation represents a straight line and has a constant slope throughout the entire line. The slope indicates the rate of change between the variables, meaning that for any two points on the line, the slope remains the same. Thus, all linear equations of the same form will have the same slope if their coefficients are consistent.
Assuming the variables are x (horizontal) and y (vertical), the slope of a straight line is defined as "rise over run". That is, the change in y divided by a change in x. This is exactly what the rate of change in y with respect to x, is. If the line is a curve, the instantaneous slope is defined as the gradient of the tangent to the curve and is the limiting value (as dx tends to 0) of the same measure.
Unit rate and slope are related concepts but not the same. A unit rate refers to a ratio that compares a quantity to one unit of another quantity, often expressed as "per unit," such as miles per hour. Slope, on the other hand, represents the rate of change between two variables in a linear equation, indicating how much one variable changes in relation to another. Both involve ratios, but slope specifically applies to linear relationships on a graph.
