The rate of change in the function y=x+4 is________ the rate of change of the function represented in the table.A) greater thanB) less thanC) equal tox/y0/62/84/106/12
Accepted Solution
A:
recall that the slope is the "average rate of change" of any function.
[tex]\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{1}x+4\qquad \qquad
\begin{array}{ccll}
x&y\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
0&6\\2&8\\4&10\\6&12
\end{array}
