What is the relationship between unit rates slopes and constant rate of change?

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.


Is rate of change the same as slope?

Yes, Rate of change is slope


What is the relationship among proportional relationship lines rate of change and slope?

The rate of change is the same as the slope.


How might you use a slope of a line to determine the unit rate?

he he he... you dont :)


What is the rate of change and how is it like the slope of a line?

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


What is a rate that has the same denominator of 1 unit?

It is a unit rate.


The slope of a line is the rate at which the line increases or slope?

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.


What is a proportional unit rate?

the same as a unit rate just in fraction form


Does rate of change mean the same as slope?

For continuous functions, yes.


How does the slope differ from average rate of change?

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.


What does the slope represemt in v and you relationship?

It represents the rate of change in v per unit change in u.


Can a rate change and the slope of the line be different quantities?

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.
