The amount of change in each unit of time.
If an entiry is dependent on another entity in a certain way then the change in value of the dependent entity to an unit change in the value of the independent entity is the rate of change.
It represents the rate of change in v per unit change in u.
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
To find a unit rate on a graph that goes through the origin, identify the coordinates of a point on the line (other than the origin). The unit rate is determined by calculating the slope of the line, which is the change in the y-value divided by the change in the x-value (rise over run). Since the line passes through the origin, the slope directly represents the unit rate of change between the two quantities. For example, if the point is (4, 8), the unit rate would be 8/4 = 2, indicating that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units.
