It is the change in the second element of the two pairs divided by the change in the corresponding first elements.

So, if the two pairs are (p, q) and (r, s), the rate of change is

(q - s)/(p - r) or, equivalently (s - q)/(r - p). It does not matter which of the two pairs goes first but the same order must be used for the numerator and the denominator - that is why the word "corresponding" was used above.

What is the approximate average rate of change over the interval 2 6?

There have to be two (or more) ordered pairs for an average rate of change to make any sense. Your question does not.


How do you find the slope with two ordered pairs given?

To find the slope between two ordered pairs ((x_1, y_1)) and ((x_2, y_2)), you can use the formula: [ \text{slope} (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} ] Subtract the y-coordinates and the x-coordinates of the two points, then divide the difference of the y-coordinates by the difference of the x-coordinates. This gives you the rate of change of y with respect to x.


Whats is the rate of change for the set of ordered pairs -3 19 -1 11 1 3 3 -5?

To find the rate of change for the set of ordered pairs ((-3, 19)), ((-1, 11)), ((1, 3)), and ((3, -5)), we can calculate the slope between each pair of consecutive points. The slope (m) between two points ((x_1, y_1)) and ((x_2, y_2)) is given by the formula (m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}). Calculating the slopes for each pair yields different rates of change, indicating that the relationship is not linear.

Why do take derivative?

To find rate of change. Two common examples are: rate of change in position = velocity and rate of change of velocity = acceleration.


What equation do you use to find the rate of change?

What is the every-day use of a derivative?

To find the rate of change. Velocity, for example, is the rate of change of distance - in a specified direction. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

How do you find the rate of change on a table?

To find the rate of change on a table: the input is X and the output is Y (the left side is X and the right is Y). The formula for the rate of change is: Change of the dependent variable over change of independent variable or y over x. ^^^ I understood NONE of that...

How do you find constant rate of change?

To find the constant rate of change, you need two points on a linear relationship, typically represented as (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). The rate of change is calculated using the formula: ( \text{Rate of Change} = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} ). This gives you the slope of the line, indicating how much y changes for a unit change in x. If the relationship is linear, this rate remains constant across the entire range of x.
