The rate of change equals the slope.
In the basic formula y=mx+b, the rate of change is equal to m.
In the equation y=5x+3, the rate of change equals 5.

The slope of a line is the same thing as the rate of change between two variables in a linear relationship.
A linear relationship.
It will just be the gradient of the function, which should be constant in a linear function.
Yes.
A linear function has a constant rate of change - so the average rate of change is the same as the rate of change.Take any two points, A = (p,q) and B = (r, s) which satisfy the function. Then the rate of change is(q - s)/(p - r).If the linear equation is given:in the form y = mx + c then the rate of change is m; orin the form ax + by + c = 0 [the standard form] then the rate is -a/b.
