The rate of change is the same as the slope.
he he he... you dont :)
For a line, the rate of change is the slope of a function.Example:y = 5x + 10The slope is 5. Every time x moves 1"unit", y moves 5 "units".The rate of change would be stated as rise / run. 5 units / 1 unit = 5
It is a unit rate.
The slope of a line is rise over run. That is to say, how many units the line rises for every unit it travels laterally.
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.
Yes, Rate of change is slope

the same as a unit rate just in fraction form
For continuous functions, yes.
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.
It represents the rate of change in v per unit change in u.
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.
