The rate of change of a function is found by taking the derivative of the function. The equation for the derivative gives the rate of change at any point. This method is used frequently in calculus.

formula to figure out the rate of change of a line on a graph m= y2-y1/x2-x1
If the unit rate exists, it is the ratio of one variable relative to the other.
Issac Newton became began to use Calculus at this time due to his leading experimentation with physics and his attemp to figure out rate of change
The first derivative is the rate of change, and the second derivative is the rate of change of the rate of change.
the steepness of the line is the slope of the line which is the rate of change; the steeper the slope, the faster the rate of change
