"Constant rate of change" can also be referred to as "slope". To find the slope of a graph, or a series of points, you take the coordinates of any two parts a line and fit them into this equation:
.
For example, say you have a line that intersects the points (2,1) and (6,3). To find the slope,
you decide which of the two points will be (x1, y1) and which one will be (x2,y2). Changing up the
order doesn't affect the answer you get, so it's usually easier to just make the first point given your
first point. In this problem, after plugging in the numbers, you get
, which equals 1/2. Therefore, your slope equals 1/2. Slope can also be expressed as "m" (m = 0.5).
To do this with a table is exactly the same. Just pick any two points and plug them in.

Why it is more useful to draw a graph then a table?
Though a table contains the data, it needs to be studied carefully. A graph, on the other hand, is an easier way to graphically show the same data, but in a more visually way.
Is data a table or graph?
Data is neither a table nor a graph, however, data may be presented in a table or depicted by a graph.
Is a graph the same thing as a table?
kind of, but it matters what kind of table or graph it is Well, not exactly, but you could make a graph from a table. For instance you might record the height of a bean plant each day in a table, then use these numbers, one as the x coordinate and the other as the y coordinate to form a graph which would give you a continuous picture of the growth of the plant. From the graph you could determine the height of the plant at any given hour or minute, not just at the end of each day.
You can use a table or graph to what your findings?
You can definitely use a table or graph to what your findings. You can use a bar graph for this purpose for example.
Is a stem and leaf plot a graph?
A stem and leaf plot is not a graph, but it is a table. You can turn it into a graph, a histogram, but it is simply a table that organizes your numbers.
